autonumber

[qball]

if anyone has used Vectorworks, you may have seen a function that inserts a tag (circle, polygon, etc.) with a number. and everytime you click while the function is active it sequences the numbers (1, 2, 3...)

does autocad have this function? if not, what lisp or macro would accomplish this?

specifically i want to insert a block with attribute(s) for numbering concrete panels. it would be helpful if the function asked for starting number and increment increase.

i'm using acad 2007. i learned lisp 8 years ago and haven't looked at it since.... so it's like i know nothing about it.

Hey , another panel guy, As Ghostrider the Autonumber thing has been covered before. I use Autonumb.lsp check here or google.

Let us know if you cant find one, I thought 2007 had that built-in...

anyway panels - cool. Have a look at this old lisp I wrote for detailing panels...

It was a very early attempt, so no error checking, and things like ortho and unit dir. can screw with it but your welcome to have a look.

Use it with the sample .dwg provided.
