Number of vector points

I don't know if this question was already posted, so please sorry me!

Using Switch layer, many times I need to know the number of the points in vector layers.

There are some simple way? Sometime I delete some point for mistake and my switch layer don't work, in many cases I can't simply redo the layer due to complexity...
Someone can help me?

I suppose you need the number of points because you want to be able to interpolate between layers?

I found it the easiest way to just create one layer with all stuff I need and then duplicate it several times, modifying each layer into whatever I need.

Yes, I've made my switch layer group in that way, but I've deleted by mistake one or more points in one layer and I saved the project.
Now I need to know wich and how much points I have to replace to restore the animation.

You can't just add the missing point. AS uses a tricky system to number its points, and they have to be in the same order in different layers if interpolation should work.

But you can always copy just one shape from a layer and paste it at the same place into another.
