Speedy Block Counting

Gobble...Gobble...had a fabulous Thanksgiving with my family...spent most of the day in the kitchen cooking - and dinner was followed by our traditional watching of Harry Potter together.  I must say this last Harry Potter movie is much darker than the last - but enjoyable nonetheless (I wouldn't take small children).  Tomorrow morning I have to get up at 3:30am to catch my flight to Orlando for Autodesk University.

I'd better add in a Hip Tip tonight before I call it a night.  Besides - how good oof tip do you think you'd get at 3:30 in the morning?

Hip Tip to Count your Blocks:

Ever wanted to count up all (or some) of your blocks in a drawing really quickly?  The Express Tool BCOUNT is great for this.  This top secret Express Tool isn't in the Express menu, it's only available at the command line.

Command:  BCOUNT
Press Enter to select all or...
Select objects:

Block....................Count
------------------------------
LTG - Track..............1
LTG - Strip..............5
Title Block..............1
Drawing Block Title......1

It couldn't be easier!  I'm off to sleep now...
