I just downloaded this today. It's pretty slick and will save me loads of time. Nice work.

 

Just one question: Is it possible to have a set of numbers automatically update themselves if I delete one or two of them?

 

For example, let's say I have a bunch of valves labelled as follows:

 

V-01

V-02

V-03

 

etc

 

If I decide to take out valve number two, is it possible for the valve labelled "V-03" to automatically change itself to "V-02"?

 

Thanks for your help!

Now that would be slick but a whole different ball of wax.

Hi Jimmy,

 

Glad you like the program, I appreciate the feedback :)

 

As for your request - its a great idea, but would be extremely difficult to incorporate. It would have to use reactors to update the text, but determining the prefix/suffix and section that is to be incremented would also be a huge challenge as my program allows the user to increment pretty much anything.

 

But all the same, its a good idea - but a lot of work...

 

Thanks,

 

Lee

So it's not actually currently possible within your program? That's fine. Your program is still better than the brute force I was using before.

 

I understand coding that would be a bit of a pain. It would have to take into account many separate and independent labels.

 

I just wanted to make sure I wasn't doing more work than I had to.

 

Thanks!

Just what I'm looking for to identify/ label items of equipment in a supermarket fitout plan.

 

Thanks again:)

Program updated to Version 2.8 to make it compatible with Bricscad. The DCL/CFG file save path is now coded at the top of the LISP.

 

The new code may be found here.

Lee,

 

Version 2.6 runs perfectly.

However, version 2.8 return the following error message when I invoke NUMINC:

 

Command:

ø¤º°`°º¤ø NumInc.lsp ~ Copyright © by Lee McDonnell ø¤º°`°º¤ø

~¤~ ...Type "NumInc" to Invoke... ~¤~

Command:

Command: numinc

; error: bad argument type: stringp nil

Ah - that would be why...

 

I changed the DCL/CFG savepath to use the System Variable ROAMABLEROOTPREFIX - to make it compatible with Bricscad, however, this System Var was introduced in 2004 :(

 

I think I'll have to update it to account for this :)
