Numbering in AutoCAD 2007- is there automatic numbering?

I often find myself copying numbers and then editing them sequentially. I can't use Excel or Word in this case, and the numbers are separate entities.

I'm using AutoCAD 2007.

For example:

1

1

1

1

I have to edit to

1

2

3

4

a lisp program could do it.

a while ago i used to work for an exhibition company and a collegue wrote a lisp program that would allow you to sequentialy number trade booths just by clicking inside the box. it auto centered and everything.

I will try to find the lisp program. it was quiet handy.

try the following, must have acad2000 and up, and the full version.

open notepad and copy and paste text into it

saveas Autonum.LSP and save it into your autocad support file

in Tools>Load Application find the Autonum.LSP file and drag it into your startup suite

on the command line, type in autonum and follow the prompts

enter 0 when asked for the x & y co ordinates to have your numbers snap to points. this is another one that jim wrote way back when, i couldnt find the newer version.

Here's another one you could try....

;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;; ERROR HANDLER ;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
(defun newerr (/ s)
(if ocmd (setvar "cmdecho" ocmd))
(if olderr (setq *error* olderr))

(if (/= s "Function cancelled")
 (if (= s "quit / exit abort")
  (princ)
  (princ (strcat "\nError: " s))
 )
 (princ "\n ERROR....CONSOLE BREAK....PREVIOUS DRAWING SETTINGS RESTORED")
)
;; (setq no nil ht nil pt nil)
(princ)
)
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;; MAIN PROGRAM ;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
(defun c:ptnos ()
(princ "\n AUTOMATIC SEQUENTIAL POINT NUMBERING - January 1998 -  Alan CULLEN")
(setq no (getint "\n Enter Starting Number : "))
(setq ht (getreal "\n Enter Text Height : "))
(setq pt T)
(while pt
 (setq notxt (itoa no))
 (setq pt (getpoint (strcat "\n Select midpoint for text ( "notxt" )   < exit > : ")))
 (if pt
  (progn
;;    (princ (strcat "E "(rtos (car pt))"  N "(rtos (cadr pt))))
   (command "TEXT" "j" "m" pt ht "90" no)
   (setq no (+ no 1))
  )
  (princ "\n Routine terminated normally by User")
 )
)
;; (setq no nil ht nil pt nil)
(setvar "CMDECHO" ocmd)
(setq *error* olderr)                          ;;Restore old error handler
(princ)
)

If the numbers were in a table you can use formulae to make each cell equal the one above +1.

Thanks Guys And Girls Have Saved Some Time At Work Using These Lisps, Cheers

You could try the incremental numbering lisp on Lee-Mac's site: http://lee-mac.com/numinc.html
