Can this be done? When I type up our "Notes By Symbol" I usually have to copy the "symbol" and renumber it down the list. I would love to just use the Numbering option in MTEXT and swapping/using a block for the numbering system down the list. Is this possible? Thanks in advance. :)

Styke,
I'm not quite sure what you are asking for. Can you post an example?

Here's a simple lisp routine with no error checking. You can use this to add the symbol after you type all the text.




(defun c:ICODE ( / ANG EN IP1 IP2 SN SP )
(setvar "attdia" 0)
(setvar "attreq" 1)

(setq ip1 (getpoint "\nPick Insertion Point of symbol: ")
ip2 (getpoint ip1 "\nPick Insertion Point of 2nd symbol ")
sn (getint "\nEnter Starting Number: ")
en (getint "\nEnter Ending Number: ")
sp (distance ip1 ip2)
ang (angle ip1 ip2)
);setq
(while (<= sn en)
(command "insert" "VMI-KEYN-03" ip1 "1" "1" "0" sn)
(setq ip1 (polar ip1 ang sp))
(setq sn (1+ sn))

);while
(setvar "attdia" 1)
);eop

I found this lisp to be very useful. However, can this lisp be modified in order for the block to line up with each sentence which are not spaced evenly apart?
