Summary
The CP_PARTCOUNT command in CADPower is used to count and summarize occurrences of part names attached to objects using the CP_PARTASSIGN command. It generates a simple tabular report inside the drawing and exports the data to a CSV file, making it an essential tool for engineers, architects, designers, and project managers working in BricsCAD, AutoCAD, ZWCAD, and ARES Commander.
CADPower -> BOM/BOQ Tools -> Parts Management -> Count part names
Key Features include:
1. Automatic Part Name Counting
- Scans selected objects and counts the occurrences of assigned part names.
- Helps in inventory tracking, BOM preparation, and material estimation.
2. Generates a Simple 2-Column Table
- Creates a structured table in CAD with two columns:
- Part Name – The assigned part name.
- Count – The number of times the part appears in the drawing.
3. CSV Export for Spreadsheet Processing
- Saves the part count data to a CSV file for further use in:
- Microsoft Excel
- Google Sheets
- ERP and Inventory Management Systems
- Helps in cost estimation, procurement planning, and report generation.
4. Works with Multiple Object Types
- Supports lines, polylines, circles, blocks, splines, and other CAD entities.
- Can process large datasets efficiently.
5. Seamless Integration with CP_PARTASSIGN and CP_BOM
- Works with CP_PARTASSIGN to count and organize part data.
- Complements CP_BOM for structured Bill of Materials (BOM) generation.
6. Enhances Data Accuracy and Workflow Efficiency
- Automates part counting, reducing manual errors and repetitive work.
- Ensures quick access to part usage statistics within a project.
Ideal Applications
- Manufacturing & Engineering: Count machine parts, sheet metal components, and fabrication elements.
- Construction & Architecture: Track doors, windows, walls, and other structural elements in a drawing.
- Interior Design & Space Planning: Summarize furniture, fixtures, and equipment counts for inventory planning.
