Counting

[Juice]

I'm designing a waterpark and its attributes inside the park, and i am drawing and placing the restrooms facilities. Now, they are all the same symbol (a plain old circle) and i just copied them where they were needed to be placed. They are not blocks, just circles. I know there is a way to count them, through the computer and i just can't remember.
Does any one know?

When you move or copy entities, look at the text line. It tells you how many objects you have selected. If these circles are on the same layer, you can just isolate that layer and move or copy them. Otherwise, you may need to use "filter" to grab only the circles.

I hope this helps.

Use Quick Select. This is a really cool 2000 command, that acad seem to not advertise very much. I think it's in the TOOLS menu, and then just see how many entities you've picked.
Designing a waterpark! Cool. Put in one of those vertical drop rides for me..

there is a count command, but it only counts blocks. You could create a block from the circle (just for the sake of having a block to count) and insert everywhere you need to. I know it's kind of a long way around to do a simple thing, but maybe next time you could just start off this way to make it easier.

way back in this forum something like that was asked for. Cant remember the thread name.
Assuming circles are mixed with other things and not easy to pick separately, the following function would allow picking a whole area including those circles and anything else.

hope this helps.
