HELP!! With AutoCAD LT 2002
(OP)
Hi,
Have a query with regards to AutoCAD LT 2002.
I am needing to do an inventory on some of the blocks I have in my dwg.
I know it can be done with 'Autodesk Architectural Desktop' in a wizard. But now need to use it in AutoCAD LT 2002 as the office only has this software.
So was wondering if anyone has used this before in LT or if there are any add ons that would be able to do it.
Thanks again
Natalie :)

The design centre will tell you what blocks are in your drawing. (Press CTRL-2)

What I'm having to do is a furniture inventory. I am updating an interior plan with furniture (blocks) i then want to count how many ie. chairs there are etc.

Do you mean, for instance, I have one block of a chair, and I need to know how many times I've used it?
Or do you mean, how many different blocks of different furniture have I got?
RE: HELP!! With AutoCAD LT 2002
First, you have to know the name of the block.
Go to Tools>Quick Select.
Make sure 'Entire Drawing' is selected at the top.
In 'Object Type' choose 'Block Reference'
In 'Properties' choose 'Name' (it's down the bottom)
Make sure 'operator' is 'equals'
In 'Name' type in the name of your block
Make sure you're in 'new selection set' and hit OK.
You'll now select all the blocks of that name in the drawing, and the command line will pop up with
'x number of items selected'.
X is the number of times you've used that block!

I have a jpg image of a sign that I want to incorporate into the autocad file. How can I insert this jpg into an autocad file, plot the file and show it to my client?
