Title: block counter neeed for ADT 2004
Post by: richardtk on February 03, 2004, 03:23:56 AM

we need a block counter that will count blocks in ADT 2004. We are using multi view blocks for our large range of furniture. We have a program that has all our components listed, some 25,000 items fpr costing, we are drawing all these in AutoCAD at present, we need a customizable counter that will count or discount things we ask it to.

Each multi view block is made up of three individual blocks which make up the 3 common views, plan, elevation and 3d. We need to have the counter look at say just the block names ****_plan and count it and any nested blocks with in it... typically a block is called 310001_plan and may contain other blocks making up the legs, structure etc

can you help ??

Is this something you might be willing to pay for?

Richard...

The gurus here are a great bunch and very knowledgable. They don't mind helping with small routines or tweaking someones routine for them.  It's something of a challenge for them to "show off".  However, when it comes to creating a full-blown "custom" routine such as what you are looking for, it's felt that some recompence is in order.  If your firm is willing to do so, I'm sure that someone here would be quite capable of creating the program you require.
