As far as I know I got out, definitely not perfect but got the base I wanted. With the code you all show here I can build in and embellish many options with OpenDCL.

Here is my attempt and please don't run the program on formatted Mtext otherwise you would get weird result.

Yeah don't know why their are using two points as well. I guess it has to do with dxf 10 or 11 code based on justification. You only have to pick one point now and fixes your other problem @Leika you can now right click to exit. ;------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ;by Joe Burke - modified 3/2/2003 ;increment first number found in text or mtext object ;other characters may precede number, "A-2" +2 returns "A-4" ;works with reals and integers ;options: increment copy multiple or increment existing text ;https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/visual-lisp-autolisp-and-general/copy-and-increment-text/td-p/840715 (defun c:IncrementText (/ i Ent Obj OldStr Mode NewStr OldNum Lst Res Pt x xxx) (vl-load-com) ;by Michael Puckett ;retain characters contained in pattern within string (defun wcfilter (string pattern / i c result) (setq result "" i 0) (repeat (strlen string) (if (wcmatch (setq c (substr string (setq i (1+ i)) 1)) pattern ) (setq result (strcat result c)) ) ) result ) (defun PickTest () (setq Obj (car (entsel "\nSelect text to increment: "))) (while (or (not Obj) (and (/= "MTEXT" (cdr (assoc 0 (entget Obj)))) (/= "TEXT" (cdr (assoc 0 (entget Obj)))) ) ) (setq Obj (car (entsel "\nText object not selected - try again: "))) ) (if (eq (cdr (assoc 10 (entget Obj))) "0.0 0.0 0.0") (setq bpt (cdr (assoc 11 (entget Obj)))) (setq bpt (cdr (assoc 10 (entget Obj)))) ) ) (PickTest) (setq OldStr (cdr (assoc 1 (entget obj))) OldNum (read (wcfilter OldStr "[0-9 .]")) ) (if (numberp OldNum) (progn (setq NewNum (1+ OldNum) NewStr (vl-string-subst (itoa NewNum) (itoa OldNum) OldStr 0) ) ) (princ "\nNumber not found in text object ") ) (setq x (getpoint "\nBase point :")) (setq offset (mapcar '/ (mapcar '- bpt x))) (while (setq pt (mapcar '/ (mapcar '+ offset (getpoint "\nNext point: ")))) (entmake (list '(0 .
