Count number of dynamic blocks of different size as seperate items

[Steve_Bennett]

So I have a dynamic block that represents doors of different sizes. 3-0x7-0, 2-8x7-0 and 2-6x6-8 would have been the legacy autocad blocks for the different sizes. Now when you use a dynamic block it has one name for all those options. Using a lisp routine to generate a quantity for each block of those names was easy.

How do I do this if I am using a dynamic block?

Let me add that I would like to keep this as simple as possible. VBA is out of the question so don't go there.

if you start from scratch, you can include the general block properties, and all i had selected on this was the block name, and the 'door width' parameter property.

what do you think, does this work for you?
