Auto Count

Auto Count takes one example and finds its matches on the sheet, or across the trade.

• Pick Auto count from the Count tool options chevron on the toolbar.
• Drag a box tightly around one instance of the symbol (a receptacle, a light fixture, a column mark). Move or resize it until it sits on one symbol.
• Choose Search sheet to look on this sheet, or Search trade to widen the search to the trade.
• A review bar reports how many symbols were found. Click a box to move or resize it, right-click a box to remove it, use + Add boxes for any it missed, and adjust Confidence (30% to start).
• Click Save as count, or Add to quantity when a count quantity is active. Close the bar without saving and Struction asks before discarding the boxes.
