Autocad Lt 2018 Product Key And Serial Number

[Rafael Nowning]

Beyondthat what other tricks does the TCOUNT command have up its sleeve? Well it also has the ability to prefix or suffix your text with a number, or of course replace it altogether. So enough talk, how does one use this hidden gem?

make sure the text is in a separate layer.

use layiso command to isolate the layer of text.

simply do a window selection to choose text.

apply to selection and the command will disregard items not in the appropriate layer.

OR use the quick select function

Upgrading to the full version might might be an option still but it will be pricey with 6 seats. It looks like Tcount was included in AutoCAD LT up until 2018. I understand that the lite version may not come with all the 3d capabilities but at the end of the day we are a 2d countertop company so the full version seems like a waste.

Hmmmm.... I wonder why they did that? Are you contractually bound to using AutoCAD (and/or AutoCAD LT)? If not there are less expensive alternatives that do have an API available for customization like this.

Do you really need all six seats operating the tcount command at the exact same time. It would make more sense to have just one seat of full AutoCAD and the rest using LT, that might mean a bit of workflow adaption but surely that wouldn't be a major hurdle. Who says it has to be all full or all LT.

That's a good idea but I don't think it will be feasible. We create production drawings with parts ranging from 1 to 500 pieces at any given time that all require a piece #. Our shop then stickers each piece with the corresponding number.

Is there a field similar to CTAB that holds the number of layouts. I'm using a string with fields to number the pages. So far all my searches come up with nothing but references to using Sheet Sets, which I will one day in the future do. Right now the boss says Sheet Sets are a great idea so get it up and running, just don't spend any time on it. LOL! So for now I'm stuck with a different method.

Thanks ReMark, but I'm actually looking for a field that would contain the number of layout tabs, not the max. The file I'm working on now has 30 layout tabs. I'm using a string in the title block which has the field CTAB followed by a space, the word "of" and then I fill in the text for the quantity of layout tabs, so I end up with "1 of 30", "2 of 30", etc... We're about to add some new sheets to this file so I will just use FIND/REPLACE to fix the number of pages. The actual page # works great by using the CTAB field. I've done this in the past with LISP but this office is way back in the dark ages as for as people understanding what LISP can do this they are not excited about me spending any time on it. LOL!

Hey thanks again all. A little more reading on this shows it might be possible to use a variable set to (length (layoutlist)) but I can't say I know how to get a variable put into string without using LISP.

Like lee just did a read the total layout number note its -1 as model is included, I did a another lisp that allowed a start number other than say 1 this was for multiple dwg's occasionally we have 2-3 rather than just one. It sort of worked will have another play and post at a later date.

Again, thanks to all. I'm still working to get the time to setup Sheet Sets but for the moment I'm hacking around with a simpler method. Trouble is this has to be able to be used by others who have zero LISP experience so anything I do has to be totally hand-free, (translation: brain free, no thinking required) LOL!

I'm using this tool together with the Sawing table, the Numbering tool is a versatile command that simplifies the process of numbering and naming objects in my AutoCAD drawings. The command allows me to select any objects in the drawing and then automatically measure and sort them based on the order I specify by size, providing each object with a unique number as its name. I highly recommend the Numbering tool to all AutoCAD users seeking a streamlined and efficient solution for managing object numbers and names in their drawings.

Good way to quickly label parts when used with Lay/Names addons. One thing i noticed that causes issues is that when i have parts that have common sizes but has different hole cuts, are counted as the same number. So that kind of defeats the purpose for how I label parts for my CNC.
