    Exclamation LISP FOR SELECTING BLOCKS AND GIVING AN TABLE WITH ATRIBUTTES, BLOCK SYMBOL AND COUNT

    Hi Guys,

    I already have a lisp for selecting blocks and giving me a count of them and their atributtes, for now, I want to include in that same Lisp a way to appear the block symbol itself..
    Would be very nice if I have at the same time a count of items on the first collumn of the table..

    I put as an attachment a DWG arquive showing how the table it is today and how i would like to be.. and the lisp i already have as well

    Thank you!!!

    Lee Mac's code creates a block table with the symbol, name, and count: http://www.lee-mac.com/blockcounter.html

    Try this pick as many different blocks it uses name to sort the blocks and do counts.

    Big-Al.. i couldnt get this code to run... but looking into it, i think thats not what i need... to be more precise i just need to know how to increment my table so i can show the symbol of the block (it could make a copy of the block itself and put into a column..) so i can see witch block it is refering not just by seeing the name of it..

    Thank you!!

    Start by Googling "block count.lsp" the issue you have is that the blocks do not appear to have the description so you would have to do a "lookup" procedure for the text that matches the block name. If this is like a 100 blocks a file may be best way to go.
