Why doesn't Pick by comparison work with object counting?

Why does Object.Count pick every single object instance in the Layout when used with "Pick by comparison" instead of only counting the object instances that match the evaluation?

Use cursor.pickedcount instead.

Use cursor.pickedcount instead.

Thanks, but will that act as .Count if no other picking conditions are included in the event?

Events start with all the instances picked, so yes count will equal pickedcount before you use a condition to pick less instances.
