question about placing numbered text

[ledesmaf71]

Hello everyone,

i am wondering if there is way to place numbered text so that the digits update in consecutive order? for example: if i am working on a subdivision and have to number a bunch of lots, how do i number them consecutively without having to place text then editing it?

type in "numbers"

doesn't work. thanks anyway.

you will need a lisp program to do that...numbers is probably one that jamalama has--unless it's a new command for 2k7?..

any ideas hazardman?

i'm fresh out. i'm guessing the way i want to place this text is not an option.........or at least as far as this version is concerned.

thank you.

If you are running AutoCAD 2002 you can run a lisp program that will placed the number where you pick and then increment the number each time you pick a point.

Is that what you are looking for?

I tried to upload the lisp program for you here but it was apparently too big (25kb)
send me an email and I'll send it to you
