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.

Count Part Names : CP_PARTCOUNT – CADPower Command

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.

Seamless CAD Platform Compatibility

The CP_PARTCOUNT command is fully optimized for BricsCAD, AutoCAD, ZWCAD, and ARES Commander, making it a valuable tool for structured part tracking and quantity estimation.

This tool eliminates manual counting, enhances reporting accuracy, and improves workflow efficiency.
