Custom Blocks in a numbering list using MTEXT??

[StykFacE]

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

Awesome!! Thanks John, works like a charm.

Oooh good - I've not really had a chance to look at it yet!

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?

Styk.....

How do you attach files that way to your posts......
