Need autolisp to count and color blocks
Is there any special rule in terms of the block location? eg. from left to right, from top to bottom, or along a route?
First of all, you will need to redefine the Block so that the pieces in it are of ByBlock color, rather than some white and some ByLayer. The Blocks already have a color assigned [green], but they don't appear green because of the colors of the pieces in the Block definition. So a routine that "colors" them by assigning colors to the Blocks will not do what you want.
Unrelated to your question, the whole thing is extraordinarily and totally unrealistically far from the drawing origin. With coordinates in the range of X=-5.5677E+13 Y=2.5816E+13 [that's 10 to the 13th power!], if your drawing unit is a millimeter, you're roughly in the vicinity of 2.5 times as far from the sun as the Earth is on average. How do drawings come to be made with coordinate values like that? A >recent topic< is about correcting that. And you should correct it -- it makes it difficult to work in, and measurements can report incorrectly, and very likely a routine that sorts by position based on coordinate values will give unexpected results.
Like Kent did a bedit on block and set all to Byblock. Then moved all to 0,0 as suggested. The block is 44 long so X&Y do not make sense.
Still not sure where colors start and stop ? Need an example.

Hi,
I need to count and change color of similar blocks. For example count and change color of every 200 blocks to multiple colors, Is there any autolisp programs for that?
Keep in mind that there are only around 254 index color available. Is that 200 different colors per block? or first 200 will be the same color? the next 200 is another color? and are you wanting to use this different blocks?

yes, I need to start segregate blocks from the top left corner initially from left to right and follow the same pattern from top to bottom
From that description, I would have expected your sample drawing to look like this [there are 196 of them in each row, so the top row plus 4 in the next row, the rest of that row plus 8 in the next, etc.]:
What is the basis for the arrangement of the colors in the sample drawing, especially for the shapes of the clusters of each color? How could a routine determine a breakdown like what you have?
Like kent I just selected and clicked on the color option and changed it. No code. Select how ?
