counting blocks in a drawing
is there a quick way to count how many times a certain block exist in a drawing?
(does all blocks has to be in the same layer ? )

Just save this code to LSP file and load it:
[code](setq bname (getstring "\nBlock name : " ))
(setq q (itoa (sslength (ssget "_X"
'((-4 . "<AND")(0 . "INSERT")(cons 2 bname)(-4 . "AND>"))
))))
(alert (strcat bname " : " q))[/code]

In the Drawing Explorer - Blocks, choose 'Detail View'. The number of times a block is inserted in the drawing shows in the 'References' column.0

I have a LISp that checks for the occurence of a list of blocks and then sums them up by layer and prints this to a file. It also makes some small calculations on the sums before printing the file. Tell me if you need it.

Patrik, I'm using the code I introduced in comment #6, but I'd be happy to check your lisp routine too

Here, and a sample of the files it looks for. It also looks for lengths of certain lines in these layers.
Hava a look. Maybe something you can alter. PAtrik
