FAQ CAD block counter statistics
Common questions about our free online CAD block counter statistics tool.
- How are block names listed?
- Every block definition referenced by INSERT entities is counted. Click a legend entry to highlight all instances on the sheet.
- Does this count dynamic blocks?
- Standard block inserts are counted. Dynamic block variants appear under their block name as stored in the drawing.
- Do I need AutoCAD installed?
- No. All tools run in your browser with WebAssembly CAD engines. Upload DWG or DXF and work immediately on Windows, Mac, Linux, or tablet.
- Is my drawing uploaded to your servers?
- By default, files parse locally in your browser. Upload only happens when you explicitly create a Share link or use cloud features.
- What is the free file size limit?
- Free accounts can open files up to 15MB. Starter ($8.8/mo) supports 50MB, Pro 100MB, and Team 200MB per drawing.
- Which DWG versions are supported?
- AutoCAD DWG R12 through 2024 and DXF (ASCII and binary). Most 2D shop drawings open cleanly.
