Automatic Numbering
As an extension from my Incremental Numbering Suite (http://www.cadtutor.net/forum/showthread.php?p=231276#post231276), I have created this program to allow a user to quickly create an array of incremented Numerical Text, at a specified spacing, with optional Prefix and/or Suffix.
The program is invoked with the syntax: AutoNum
Upon invoking the program, the user is presented with an interface which includes options to change Text Layer, Style, Justification and Height.
One can specify the Spacing between each text item, and also the direction in which it is arrayed - with negative spacing indicating an array in the opposite direction.
12797
One can specify Prefix, Middle and Suffix text, and have the option to increment either section (providing it is numerical); with the ability to have leading zeros and decimal increments.
Text Rotation can be determined, with the option to either align the text to the direction of the array, or to override the rotation and use a specific angle.
12779
12780
Upon specifying a base-point, the text will continue to be arrayed, until the incremented section reaches the End Number as specified.
-- This program is available Free to Download --
Instructions for Running:
Save the attached DCL and LISP files.
Save the DCL in your AutoCAD search path, and save the LISP in any desired location.
Open AutoCAD and type appload at the command line, or alternatively, go to Tools > Load Application.
Load the LISP file as previously saved, and add the file to your start-up suite if desired.
Type AutoNum at the command line to invoke the command.

Version 3: The Original Program
Version 4: As an alternative, with the help of CAB over at theSwamp.org (http://www.theswamp.org/index.php), NumInc & AutoNum have been combined into one program.
