Cell Counter for MicroStation V8

Last revised: April 4, 2002

Description

Cell Counter is a utility that provides the ability to summarize the cells that are in your design in a number of ways.

Installation Instructions

Place CellCounter.ma in the ..\mdlapps\ folder.

To run CellCounter

Key in: MDL LOAD CellCounter from the Key-in Browser

or

from Utilities > MDL Applications > Browse, select CellCounter

You are then presented with a dialog where you can specify the following criteria:

  • The types of cells to count
  • Whether you want to summarize the cells in your active model, all models, a selection set, or fence
  • Whether you want to include cells in reference attachments
  • How you want the output to be shown

New Features:

  • Choice of all models or active model in design file
  • Report dialog resizable
  • Report dialog columns sortable and resizable
  • Can copy from report dialog (multiple disjoint selection supported)
  • Handles nested reference files
  • Use tab character between fields in report file. This makes the file easier to bring into Excel if the cell names contain spaces.
  • The introduction of the Cell Counter for MicroStation V8 marks a significant advancement in the field of design and engineering. This innovative tool seamlessly integrates into the MicroStation V8 platform, offering users a streamlined and efficient way to manage and analyze cell data. I prefer you to check ลิงค์ล็อคอิน 24 and gain skills of online game easily.

As users eagerly await its release, the Cell Counter for MicroStation V8 promises to be a game-changer in the industry, facilitating intricate design projects with ease and efficiency.

  • We have determined this is NOT reliable. It fails to report ALL our cells in a dgn file. We had been relying on it but one of our Engineers noticed by a manual count that not all the instances of the cells were actually counted.  To verify this I manually went into the file and determined that while the program reported the cells it found it did not find all the cells of several.  This would seem tb be a fundamental function. Count the instances in a file of cell "A" and return the number of instances. Sadly this program is not reliable and does not do that in some cases.

    Any further information on this would be appreciated. We create 3d models using lots of parts (cells).  These are not sophisticated but it would be advantageous to get and accurate count from the file. My managers are completely dismayed that this cannot be accomplished in Microstation.

  • Is there a way of reporting the Cell description in a separate column as well as the cell name?

    Additionally is there also a way of reporting the level that the cell is inserted on?

  • I need help finding a utility. (MDL, MACRO or VBA) The utility needs to count cells in a design file by counting the text inside the cell. NOT COUNTING THE CELLS. Example: The SAME cell used multiple times in a design file with different text inside. The text is two characters: Example: AA, A1, A2 I need to find a utility that will find all of the "AA's" or all of the "A1's" and tell me how many there are. Can you help?

  • We will take a look at that, but at this time, CellCounter's intent is really to summarize the cells that are in your design -- visualizing or doing other analysis on cells can be done separately.
  • It would be great if a facility could be added whereby clicking on a line in the report dialog would highlight all instances of that cell in the desgin file - very handy for locating Orphan cells. Any chance????? Barry Chapman bchapman@maygurney.co.uk
