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.


The CAD Recent Documents list appears in the home screen, which you'll see when you have CAD open but don't have a drawing open. The default setting for this list is to show the 9 most recently opened drawing files.


However, some CAD users would prefer that the Recent Documents list include more than 9 drawings so they can scroll through a larger list when searching for an existing drawing to open.


You'll now be able to see the selected number of recent files in the Recent Documents menu on the home screen. (Use the scroll bar to scroll down the list of files.) In our example, we are now able to see 50 files in this list.


Alternatively, the CAD part has been uploaded within a workspace, but not checked in. You can try using the attached SQL scripts to find out which workspace(s) have CAD Docs with the names causing the trouble.


Basically it is a question of upload. I tried to checked in from my local work space & uploaded but checked in error shows that xx.prt is not unique due to another person uploaded same part number in his respective work space & still same part in his local work space.


The more I go along using this software, the more I worsen its reputation. It is just making you lose time in such stupid problems (and so many other happened! like "workspace corruption" for example...shameful).


One way to force this error to occur is to have a drawing and a part and give them both the same 'number' by removing the .prt and .drw suffix. This will be flagged as 'not unique' when the user tries to check them in.


- with absolutely no idea of what the cause was, I solved the thing by simply erasing the asm from the WS, then I re-uploaded the asm and did, as first thing (before uploading), a local rename of the assembly so that there wasn't any asm0001 around. Then, I uploaded it and without any problem.


So, during the first retrieval it seemed like the software remembered that the previous name of b.asm was asm0001 (which had a conflict) and so "extended" somehow this conflict to b.asm (even if there wasn't any b.asm around!).


I think it might have been a problem lying "undergound", at level of the core machine-code (don't know how to call it) of CAD parts. (as if this core-machine-code associated to the cad part hadn't been renamed together with the "surface-level" name b.asm).


I had kind of a strange problem, while checking in the brand new files I've got the error "the part is not unique". To my shame I made a mistake. Inside my workspace I renamed the drawing to 001.prt and a part to 001.prt (same extensions) within a parameter "Number". While the file names were 001.drw and 001.prt the Numbers were the same. Windchill doesn't allow to have same Numbers as same as same file names.


Beside it, when you simultaneously checking two files with the same parameter "NUMBER" the windchill compares them to themselves and gives you the same error - not unique! You looking for this name in a commonspace while missing that they are not unique to each other.


Same number is allowed in the workspace because you have not checked the files into Windchill and thus you could rename them before doing a check-in or upload and never have an error that Windchill detects. Think of your local workspace like a folder on your workstation. Only you can see what is in there, so the software leaves it alone. Do an upload or check-in and Windchill now has to check all files to be sure that what you are doing is unique.


Setting 'remove file extension from number' compounds the issue. Unless your drawing numbers are totally different from your assembly/part numbers, this setting will cause a conflict every time. One of our CAD rules is that part and assembly numbers MUST be unigue. We do not allow 123456.prt and 123456.asm to exist. We do allow a 123456.drw, which is why the remove file extension from number causes the error for us.

Drafters typically complete education after high school, often through a program at a community college or technical school. Some programs lead to an associate of applied science in drafting or a related degree. Others result in a certificate or diploma.


Despite declining employment, about 16,600 openings for drafters are projected each year, on average, over the decade. All of those openings are expected to result from the need to replace workers who transfer to other occupations or exit the labor force, such as to retire.


Drafters use software to convert the designs of architects and engineers into technical drawings. Most workers specialize in architectural, civil, electrical, or mechanical drafting and use technical drawings to help design everything from microchips to skyscrapers.


Some drafters are referred to as CAD operators. Using CAD systems, drafters create and store technical drawings digitally. These drawings contain information on how to build a structure or machine, the dimensions of the project, and what materials are needed to complete the project.


Drafters work with CAD to create schematics that can be viewed, printed, or programmed directly into building information modeling (BIM) systems. These systems allow drafters, architects, construction managers, and engineers to create and collaborate on digital models of physical buildings and machines. Through three-dimensional rendering, BIM software allows designers and engineers to see how different elements in their projects work together.
