lisp routine

No I don't but I do have a routine that will increment a series of text digits by 1 starting at a typed number. R. Wink

I have one on my site that will do that but the number has to be the only attribute in a block (not text). You can pick any interval, starting number, and alpha-numeric prefix. It's called bseq.lsp , for Block SEQuencer.

Try the routine attached.

Take a look at their website download the anx.lsp function.

Thanks to all the replies, however my news server is showing "no" attachment.

Try pasting the following into a text document, then save as "your file name.lsp", then in ACAD at the "Command:" prompt type in: (load "your file name") , then type in: nmbr
;;;;begin code by Jeff Mishler to insert ;;;;a number and increment the value to insert ;;;;the next number
(defun c:nmbr (/ new_num) (if (not *last_num*)(setq *last_num* 1)) (cond ((setq new_num (getint (strcat "\nNumber to start numbering with (" (itoa *last_num*) ") : ")))(start_lbl)) ((setq new_num *last_num*)(start_lbl)) ) (princ) ) (defun start_lbl (/ CURHGT CURSTYL INSPT) (setq curStyl (tblsearch "style" (getvar "textstyle"))) (if (= 0 (cdr (assoc 40 curStyl))) (progn (initget 7) (setq curHgt (getreal "\nEnter a height for the text: ")) ) (setq curhgt (cdr (assoc 40 curStyl))) ) (while (setq insPt (getpoint "\nSelect next number Insertion Point: ")) (entmake (list '(0 . "TEXT") '(100 . "AcDbEntity") (cons 8 (getvar "clayer")) '(100 . "AcDbText") (cons 10 insPt) (cons 40 curhgt) (cons 1 (itoa new_num)) '(50 . 0) (cons 7 (getvar "textstyle")) ) ) (setq new_num (1+ new_num) *last_num* new_num ) ) ) ;;;;;end code

Hello This is working perfekt but how to make it remember the last number after closing and opening acad and current drawing??

LISP variables aren't saved in drawing files. But you have a number of options:
(1) Set one of the user variables (USERRn, USERIn) to the the value contained in *last_num* before you exit the routine; (2) Attach the value to an object in the drawing as XDATA; (3) Use a catalog. (3) Write a little temporary file containing the saved value; (4) Set an environment variable in the registry.
You should be able to find details on most of these options in HELP (Customization Guide). ___
