Hi all
I would like to know if there is a possibility to know the number of objects selected in the creation tree, to know the quantity.
Thank you in advance.
Hello
Impossible as far as I know, maybe a macro could do it, but with the selection enabled, it seems complicated.

Otherwise, by using the mechanical-welding module (multi-body), SolidWorks manages the quantity of identical bodies and groups them in the same ^me folder.

My request is for screws, and to accentuate the thing it is not toolbox that was used.
Hello
In your assembly, go to "evaluate" and then to "visualization of the assembly" (the loading can be a bit long if your assembly is large) and there it gives you the number of occurrences of the same element without having to make a selection in the creation tree.
Otherwise you can always insert a nomenclature in your 3D to see the quantities.

If you select your objects, they are theoretically in blue in the Feature Manager
so you create a folder to select and insert all the said selections
This will allow you not to lose any of your selections and will help to count them

Or a roundabout method that can work (we could make a macro out of it):
After selecting the items, click Invert Selection (Selection Filter toolbar) or Tools > Invert Selection, delete or hide items, and create a bill of materials with the total:

We can image a mcaro that creates a temporary configuration that we delete at the end.
