ArchiForma will basically create the counters as ArchiForma Objects. You can assign object IDs to them for filtering and also assign various Archiforma parameters for listing. Unfortunately, the Archiforma parameters available for assigning are not as specific as the ones avaiable for slabs. Maybe you could customize the ArchiForma objects by creating special additional parameters to the various ArchiForma object types....I'm not sure about this because I've never tried it.
Bottomline,
I suggested the ArchiForma process becacuse the counter objects are easier to create, modify,bevel, etc....and they know/report what zone they are in.
Don't know if this answers your question but hope it helps,

Due to the complexity of my drawings its critical that I don't do things like you suggest because when I make changes, it makes hunting for these areas that need to be corrected a herculian task.
You can increase the ease of finding the slabs by use of specific pens and/or fills.

...I just realized I already own Archiforma and I find it very difficult to use. The dinky manual that comes with it is hard to understand and I am completely lost as to how to use it.
Is there a better training guide out there somewhere?
How did you learn it?

I know I'm coming in late here but I just ran into this myself. Thanks to Laszlo for calling it definitively (and also for your work in the Wiki which has been very helpful lately).

there does not appear to be a way to sched the area of the part --a serious drawback.
