Process all forms on a drawing AND give their mensurations

[Pivert]

Hi to you experts !

I am beginning using AutoCad and have much more to learn then I already know !

Is there a way ( be it programming ) to cycle thorough all forms on a drawing and list them to output plus their dimensions.
As an example : it would list all rectangles, squares, circles ..., along with their names, position and dimensions, for all layers of the squetch.

I am sure it should be possible to do this, but can't figure how.

Hope someone here has teh necessary background !

TIA to all who read !

Have you tried typing "list" "all" ?

Done.

Indeed list -> all seems to select all objects.
However, I do not see a list of their names / sizes : where should I look ?

TIA

It lists only what it knows. It knows only the most basic of entities. Points Lines Arcs Circles Polygons PolyLines Ellipses etc. If four lines or one polyline happen to make a square, AutoCad is totally ignorant of that. If the square is a four sided polygon, AutoCad knows it as a polygon and still will not call it a square.

If the square is a block with the name "Square", the List command will show the location, size (scale), rotation, etc.

Not much help, I'm afraid.
