Autocad LT2008 - Batch Plotting and Block counting

[22oakdene]

Does anyone know how to batch plot in the above version of ACAD ?
Also,
Does anyonw know how you can count blocks within a excel spreadsheet ?
Kinda like 'Xanadu extension' but for free ?

Thanks.

I don't think you can do this in LT.... :confused:

You might need to buy the LT-Extender to run LISPs (macros) in order to do this type of routine....

The version of AutoCAD ... has a routine called BCOUNT....

in combination with that.... one might be able to do what you want...



and the full version does come with... batch plotting...
