    Hi

    I am wondering how I could write a function that finds certain numbers or blocks in AutoCAD and counts them. Is it possible to do it with c++? I am not very familiar with lisp. but I really appreciate if someone could help me to write it in lisp, because loading it is easy.

    thanks

    (defun c:BCOUNT( / bname len)
    (setq bname (getstring"Enter Block name <or press enter to select>:"))
    (if (= bname "") (setq bname (cdr (assoc 2 (entget(car(entsel"Select the block:")))))))
    (setq len (itoa (sslength (ssget "x" ( list (cons 0 "INSERT")(cons 2 bname))))))
    (Princ (strcat "\nNumber of -" bname "- blocks in the file is: " len))(princ)
    )

    Hi maryam

    There was a period you had to pay extra for express tools to Autodesk's snaky
    cashmakers (or you was a VIP member -PointA?- to get it for something like
    free).
    AFAIK, since A2k2/4 Express tools are again part of AutoCAD - you've to start
    Setup -> Install Supplemental Tools -> AutoCAD Express Tools.

    Cheers
