Hi there,

I am a translator. I want to count words in a drawing and charge a customer according to the number of words. I do not know anything about macros so this option will not suit me. I tried dxf2text but the program reads: Dfx2text is not recognized as an internal or external command. Are there any other simple ways to count words in a drawing?

This is not really something that is important to do in a CAD drawing, so there is no built in functionality to do so. You can use the QSELECT command to select Text or Mtext in the drawing, but this will select strings of text, and report back the number of text strings in the drawing that are selected. But it won't count individual words.
 
Maybe you could give this lisp routine a try: http://www.jefferypsanders.com/autolisp_WORDS.html
