Inkscape question

[Paladin]

Question for all you Inkscape experts:  I am working on cutting a multi-layer pattern that was originally designed for automated cutting machines (laser, cricut, etc.) and was wondering if there is a way in Inkscape to have it show the quantities of cuts?  I recently figured out how to get it to outline things which made a huge difference for me in trying to cut these types of patterns.  The current layer I am working on is taking me forever, and I am curious as to how many cutouts are in it and hoping there is an easy way for it to be tallied.

 

Thanks,

Steve

I think you just will have to counht...1,2,3,4...  

I do that when I'm drilling the blade holes.

There are CAD programs that can add up the cutouts but Inkscape wants you to use you finger. Illistrator may have that feature.

I have noticed that if you select a number of objects at once, the description bar at the bottom of the drawing area will tell you how many of each type of object you have selected.  This is easiest to do for a large number of objects if you use the selection tool to drag a box around them.

Ctrl-A to select all, and the number of objects is shown on the bottom of the page.
