Block Quantify (Tip #2210) by Brock Narum counts the number of blocks, xrefs and dynamic blocks inserted into an active drawing. Load the LISP code for this tip then type BLKQNT at the AutoCAD Command line to activate. The program then reads through the block definitions table and construct a report that can be viewed in the AutoCAD text window. Narum reports that he uses this function to help verify designs by making sure the component counts correspond. Block management, especially when external references are involved is greatly simplified using custom report generators like this one. Thanks, Brock! |
