How do you autonumber polygons at the centroids?

I have many polygons that need numbering. It is for a maps sheet layout of our

project. Is there a way to auto number/label the polygons and with the names

you want?

Example: School_1 is one sheet, School_2 is the next sheet etc. The

labeling needs to start at the lower left of the layout to the right. Then on the

next line of sheets the labeling starts from the left again and then to the right.

The first row of sheets would be School_1, School_2, School_3. The second row

of sheets would be School_4, School_5, School_6 etc.

I tried placing a centroid in the polygons but could not find a way to place text on

the centroids. Is there a way to place text on centroids without manually snapping

to the centroid with the text?

The only thing that we found at work was "Tcount". Is this the only way?

Thanks.

Look here...

Not sure exactly what you wrote(?).

Perhaps a lisp file might help.

Take this one for a spin.

callout-3.lsp

Thanks Tankman

I will try this lisp later.

I will try this lisp later.

If the lisp doesn't work, try to edit it to suit your needs or ask in the forums what you might need to edit the lisp file.

Good luck and have fun!
