Layout tab > Other functions group > List functions menu > List functions menu > Count quantities from selected elements

With these functions, you can count the number of the electrical outlets from the opened drawing or selected elements.

The quantity calculation function is divided into four sections:

• List – Select whether you want to calculate symbols, objects with length, or both.

• List, desired information – Select what information you want to list for each object.

• Objects with length – Select which objects with length you want to calculate.

• List condition – Select the condition for listing objects:

  • Include if any desired information is found – Use this option when you count quantities from a drawing that was drawn using some other program. All symbols have at least a name, so this list condition includes all symbols.

  • Include only if System information is found – Use this option when you count quantities from a drawing that was drawn using Electrical because only electrical symbols have system information, so the quantity calculation does not include other symbols.

  • Include only if all desired information is found – Use this option when you want to include only such symbols that have all the information that you have selected.

With Ignored objects, you can define which elements are ignored in calculations.

You can define a mask, which will be used to compare element's properties. All matches will be filtered. There are 5 different properties, which can be used to filter elements:

• Attribute name

• Attribute name and value

• System

• Symbol

• Layer

Wildcard characters ? and * can be used within ignore masks. When ignoring elements by attribute name and value, ignore mask must be of the following syntax: "attribute name=value".

When counting quantities from the selected drawings, the lists are made to the opened drawing. The Show list bar symbols in drawing function does not work from this kind of a list.
