Worksheet counting symbols that are inside of other symbols?

[Bruce Kieffer]

Is it possible for a worksheet to count symbols that are inside of other symbols? I have a screw symbol inside of a back slat symbol in my bed/sofa design (see the design in the link below). I can see the screw symbols when the back slat wooden part class is off, and I can select the screw symbols with the select similar tool, but those embedded screw symbols are not counted in my screw symbol counting worksheet.

Yes. Just make sure the check box for Including Components of Symbols is checked in the database criteria.

Pat, I do have that checked but they are not counted. I just checked again and I see that the select similar tool does NOT see those screws, so I need to investigate further.

OK, Thanks Pat. I got it figured out. I needed to add another layer to the criteria.
