Required a Lisp to count Similar objects in exploded autocad drawing (count similar objects by same circumstance/area, shape etc)

[hibba]

 

Hello Everyone,

i need a lisp to count similar objects in an exploded drawing. in an image below i want to count same type of sockets but drawing is exploded.

If they are blocks use this http://www.lee-mac.com/blockcounter.html

 

If not going to need more then just a screen shot. upload a sample drawing.

all objects including arch drawing are exploded .

Drawing.dwg

Nothing really you can do maybe use quick select and filter by radius seems that they all have slightly different radius. but then you would have to remove one that have different call outs.

I don't think this is possible given the drawing you have, quickly checking some sockets - very tricky at least I think. I looked at this a while ago to find similar shapes for the case of an exploded PDF where text is lines... and came to the conclusion that I wouldn't be able to do that.

 

In your drawing

- Some have different circle diameters

- Some have the triangles oriented different directions

- Different layers are used

- Lines are drawn in opposite directions and are different lengths

 

 

Very tricky is above my skill for an internet forum sorry, but might be possible... ?

 

- SSget all the circles on electrical layers with a radius of less than 100

- Loop through the Selection set and find if the circle contains any polylines on the same layer as the circle - not something I have ever needed to do but it can be done?

- Count how many segments these polyines have, if =3 there is a good chance it is a circle with a triangle inside?

- Likewise count if the circle is bisecet by a single line on the same layer - again can that be done?

 

... and then just add them all up...

 

just guessing but not something I have ever looked into and I reckon it might be a tricky challenge

 

 

If it is just 1 drawing like this it might be a lot quicker just to count them manually, or select them and see how many there are in the properties table than making a LISP up unless someone has something ready made

Are you sure there's no way to retrieve a copy of the drawing from before it was (exploded) destroyed? 

Anytime I pass a drawing to someone else I keep a copy for myself just in case they might do something like that.

Bricscad has a make block where it looks at patterns of objects, 

 

Ask company to send un exploded, they just dont want you to use there blocks.

Yeah I forgot about that.

BLOCKIFY

Yeah the objects are to obscure because they have say different text inside circle, Blockify did not seem to work.

thank you so much for the reply guys. i already tried with BricsCAD but the issue was not resolved with that kind of drawings i have to work.

i remember, i used a lisp earlier where i was able to select same kind of objects with the same property but i have lost that lisp.

Sorry for the earlier reply. I installed again and checked it is also working
