    Default Copy and increment

    Registered forum members do not see this ad.

    Is there a macro written that will copy and increment text for Autocad 2008 LT

    I often number electrical terminal blocks and would like to copy at a set distance in a column and auto increment them as I do so.
    So I can input the full set of numbers with one click instead of using an array and editing each number.

    unfortunately LT lacks the ability to do this easily. LISP or VBA can do this relatively easily but unmodified LT can't use them.

    The lack of programming was the key point in me convincing the bean counters not to "save" money by moving us to LT.

    I guess I shouldn't be flabbergasted, but I am. Unbelievable! There are some things that bean counters have absolutely no business making decisions about.

    Automatic text increment can be done in Lt. with Diesel

    Have a look here (btm. of the page)

    If at first you don't succeed, then maybe failure is more your style.
