how to test a block with the btestblock command in autocad lt for mac

I will illustrate this tool with the help of two simple examples.

To do that click on the Quick select tool on the Utilities panel of Home tab.

In next menu, a list of all items present in the drawing will appear select circle from object type drop-down menu.

If you want to select all circles in the drawing with the radius greater than 2 units then select greater then operator, similarly other operators can be chosen depending upon your requirement.

You will see the number of circles with radius 2 units above command line as shown below.

From the Operator menu, select the Greater than operator and enter 0 in the value field.

Its obvious that radius of all circles present in the drawing will certainly have a value greater than zero.

Quick select will not include objects which are present in a block even if they meet the criteria described by the quick select command.

This command can only count active blocks in your drawing which means if you have a block which is not used in the drawing area then the result will not contain its count.

To count the number of blocks in entire drawing dont select an area directly press enter and the complete drawing will be selected.
