Can you please create under Layer Properties Manager a column that will show the count for each layer (# of elements in every layer)? I believe this would be a major improvement to the software.
That’s a very good idea from a workflow standpoint, and many users have asked for similar “live object statistics” inside the Layer Properties Manager—but in current AutoCAD/Civil 3D versions, that column cannot be added natively.
Short answer:
No — the Layer Properties Manager does not support custom calculated columns, so you cannot directly add a live “object count per layer” field.
Why it’s not possible (today)
The Layer Manager only displays properties stored at the layer definition level (color, linetype, etc.). Object counts are:
dynamic (change constantly)
computed across the entire drawing database
not stored as a layer property
So Autodesk hasn’t exposed a hook for it in that UI grid.
