counts wrong in parts list

I am using SolidWorks 2010 sp1.0 and am having trouble with quantity needed being high in parts lists on my drawings.  It seems that when I use the linear components feature in my Assembly, it counts the original part twice.  I have never understood why I have to put in one more than I need (typing 1 in quantity doesn't do anything and I type in 2 to get one new one, etc.) when using the linear pattern feature; could that have something to do with it?SolidworksDrawings And Detailing
