    That should work for your doors and windows too.
    It's not a vanilla AutoCAD command. It is usually found in the verticals.

    Also, check out archived course "ATP136 Have You Met QSelect?"

    If you have a technical question, please find the appropriate forum and ask it there.
    You will get a quicker response from your fellow AUGI members than if you sent it to me via a PM or email.

    Also, my problem in trying to do this is I have LT 2007. So I have to save down to 2000 to use the functions...oh well.
    Hi "seanp"

    Please note I have *moved* this thread from the AutoCAD 2007 General forum to this one...

    Thanks, Mike

    No. It's not even in AutoCAD - it's an ADT(?) thing.

    Not sure if this command works in LT or not but you can try the Attribute Extraction Wizard (EATTEXT). It works in vanilla AutoCAD.

    It can count blocks and attributes and also build a table for you. It does not require the blocks contain attributes.

    Unfortunately with LT you don't have the best tools to acccomplish this. You can't use LISP routines, and you don't have the Enhanced Attribute Editor. Your best bet is to use Quick Select. In the Object Type specify: Block Reference, and then on properties select the "Name" option , on operator select equals, then on value select the name of the block you want Hit OK and it should select all the blocks and report how many it found on the command line.

    ADT/ABS yes, SelectSimilar was available in MAP2006 as well, but, not 2007
    One of my friends from the Adesk Discussion Groups wrote a routine that functions in the same way, but, unfortunately, it is lisp, so would not work with AutoCAD LT (darned shame, because I could not work without it now that I have used it).
