Function

Count the number of items within the model workspace. Particular item types or with particular attributes may be counted.

Parameters

nvar

An arithmetic variable into which the number of counted items is to be recorded. If this is included, it must be the first parameter on the command line.

 

 

i=

Count all items of particular item types. If more than one item type is indicated, they should be enclosed within parentheses.

 

 

f=

Count all items with particular fragment numbers. If more than one fragment range is indicated, they should be enclosed within parentheses.

 

 

m=

Count all items using a particular pen number. A range may be indicated within parentheses.

 

 

$=

Count all items using a particular dash pattern. A range may be indicated within parentheses.

 

 

th=

Count all items using a particular pen thickness. A range may be indicated within parentheses.

 

 

font=

Count all items using a particular character font. A range may be indicated within parentheses.

 

 

col=

Count all items using a particular colour fill. A range may be indicated within parentheses.

 

 

til=

Count all items using a particular tiling pattern. A range may be indicated within parentheses.

 

 

ren=

Count all items using a particular render pattern. A range may be indicated within parentheses.

 

 

h=

Count all items using a particular hatch pattern. A range may be indicated within parentheses.

 

 

class=

Count all submodels with a particular classification code. If <text> is enclosed within quotes it will be a literal code. If not, it will be used as a wild-card code. The <text> code should have a maximum of eight characters.

 

 

l=

Count all submodels with a particular location code. If <text> is enclosed within quotes it will be a literal code. If not, it will be used as a wild-card code. The <text> code should have a maximum of sixteen characters.

 

 

a<i>

Count all items whose attribute <i> is a particular code. If <text> is enclosed within quotes it will be a literal code. If not, it will be used as a wild-card code.

 

 

x=

Count all items who belong to a given index. Either a user index or one of the three system indices BACKGROUND, FOREGROUND, or PARTITION maybe specified.

 

 

p

Count all items in the partition area of the model workspace. If this is omitted, the count will consider all items in the background area.

Examples

count x, f=(1\10), i=s, h=4

count v1, i=(m,d), a1=dim*

count i=$door*, a5='green'

count v100, class='**'

count m=2, $=5, th=1

Notes

When evaluating which items are to be counted, only items which satisfy all of the conditions will be included.

 

During wild-card code comparisons, upper and lowercase characters are treated as equal.
