Array count?

[Anonymous]

i have a parking block with array action.

i want to know how many parking do i have after using the array?

tried using placeholder of the distance, but i need somehow to divide the total.

maybe use formula.

thanks in advance

If the parking space is a fixed width you can put it in a formula. See the attached drawing for a little bit of guidance

I add another option

Slightly off-topic: have you considered using Autodesk's VEHICLE TRACKING add-on for AutoCAD for all of your parking needs? Explore it https://knowledge.autodesk.com/support/vehicle-tracking/learn-explore/caas/video/youtube/watch-v-6ri...

thanks, i can see the array and the stretch action. i can't see the formula in the attribute

[Anonymous]

very very nice option

please let me know how the attributes work, for the numbers also

and after i understand these , i am curious if the additional numbers can be as an option to the user, like the visibility parameter?

seems WOOOW!!!

is it additional software?

i have civil 3D 2020. is it included?

In your block I add block with attribute. Then in that attribute I add field with formula and add that block to array.

thanks

how can i see the field/formula in the attribute? how to get there?

i guess it but i want to be sure

[ojuris]

see screencast how to add field with formula

[Anonymous]

thank you very much!!!  :trophy:

i'll try the formula idea maybe with the length property because the block can be rotated.

how can i identify if attributes of mine or another users have fields? to open and understand the way formulas/fields were created

change  FIELDDISPLAY  to 1

now i can see the fields. but how to open them to see the formula (to insert into the field).

i don't know how to see/update the fields i have created even by myself. i have to recreate them every time i need

[ojuris]

To edit fields - go to in attribute like you want to edit attribute, then right click to field and choose Edit field.

[Anonymous]

this is what i tried every time but the only option is to insert field, no edit

[hwalker]

Don't try editing the field there. Edit it in the main block

[Anonymous]

great!!!! got the "edit" when pointing on the attribute value exactly

how i'm getting the edit of the field within MText field (the one that is calculating the number of parking, without the circle. there is also just the insert field option)

[hwalker]

It's just like a normal block which has an attribute in it. Think of the car park block as your "main drawing" and the nr block is just a normal block with an attribute which you can edit.

i mean this one. it's MText
