How to find out the total number of objects in a drawing

I have some drawings that have a lot of hatching and the large number of objects and file size is causing problems when I insert it into another program. Some of the hatches were generating 16,000 objects in a 3" x 12" drawing.

I would like to find out the total number of objects in a drawing to track my progress at reducing the number of objects and file size.

Thanks

When all Layers are thawed, command SELECT, option ALL,

You will see the counting of ALL top-level objects in your DWG (all spaces)

 

Or for only the current space also possible:

When the number of objects fewer then your PROPOBJLIMIT (max.32767)  you can see the count in your properties palette (CTRL+1)

If there are more objecs and you have full version of AutoCAD, use this "command" (sslength(ssget "_X")).

 

In both versions, Full&LT also possible after selection by CTRL+A: Start command MOVE or Copy or similar,

you can cancel the command then, the answer is written in commandline [F2]

Hey @Anonymous,

To add on what @cadffm has mentioned, you may use the quick select QSELECT command, and select the object type desired based on the various properties that the object has.

Thanks everybody for the help. I had so many problems plotting the drawings as pdf's I had to try something

else. I exported them as .bmp's and the resulting images were easy to work with.
