Counting blocks in blocks

Anonymous · ‎11-01-2016

Is it possible to easily count blocks in a drawing, i havent needed to for a long time and used to be able to extract to a table in 2007 version. Now on a MAC and struggling to work out an easy way of doing this.

Hope someone can help, all i need is names and numbers!

Welcome to Autodesk Forums!

Hi,
If you are using full AutoCAD, you can try this AutoLISP routine:

It should work in AutoCAD for Mac.

Thanks Maxim,

I am using the LT version, but i will have a look at this solution.

Regards

As AutoLISP is not available in LT, the only one quick solution is to use QuickSelect to find all blocks in the drawing with particular name. Than you will see the quantity of the blocks in the drawing.
