Auto Numbering?

[Scrimski]

Another question.... How would I get the numbers, in the vertical Y form, to go from 1 to whatever, from top to bottom rather than bottom to top, as it is doing now?

 

Try a negativ spacing -> is that what you want???

[Scrimski]

This works great... One question though... What would I type in the prefix and suffix if I want it to be blank?

 

Sorry my fault -> doesn't work currently

What do you wish?? Do you want any default value?

[jammie]

sweet thank you ! that did the trick

 

Your welcome,

 

Just pointed you in the right direction! Thanks for sharing your findings on the text justification

[AQucsaiJr]

Wish?? I don't wish... I do appreciate the help with this because it will save me alot of time creating these term racks....

Making the spacing a negative value did the trick... I would like to be able to use a prefix and suffix, but in some cases I would like to have the prefix and suffix blank as well.

I can't thank you enough for your help... I hope I can learn how to write these LISP files on my own soon.... They seem very useful.

Useful yes, but i think it is hard to learn, not the basics (the lisp basics are easy), but there are a lot of tricks and pitfalls if you go further.

This is a easy code, so it is fun for me to help you.

 

Now you can use blanks, but the previous input is not saved.

This is perfect... I can definitely use this... Thank you for your help.

nothing mate, when it asks for the first time upon loading just enter over it, leave it blank.

np mate, im new to this lisp routines, so i would like to help as much my limited knowledge about this allows me

[AQucsaiJr]

nothing mate, when it asks for the first time upon loading just enter over it, leave it blank.

It did not work for me like that... If I tried to enter over it, after entering anything, it would keep asking the question If I left it blank... But the last LISP files solved the problem.

[AQucsaiJr]

When I click on these files, they bring me to a page that says I need to contact an administrator?

A bit late, I know, but I managed to find the time to upgrade it

 

Make sure that the DCL is saved in your search path

 

Lee

AutoNum.dcl

AutoNum.lsp

[AQucsaiJr]

got it... I'll give them a try.

[AQucsaiJr]

I thought I could figure it out through the help menu but I am having trouble.... What do I do with the .dcl file you provided?

Just save it to your AutoCAD Search Path.

 

The Standard Search path is Program Files > AutoCAD XXX > Support.

 

You can also add to the search path listings by going to Tools > Options > Files (tab) > Support File Search Path

[AQucsaiJr]

Got it... Thanks... I'll let you know my results.

[AQucsaiJr]

WOW!!! Very cool... I can use this... I like the menu pop-up, very helpful... Thank you very much for all your help.

No problem

 

I've tried to add as much error handling as I can, but I haven't tested it completely, so let me know if you find any bugs

[AQucsaiJr]

It is the least I could do... I will let you know of any findings!

 

I know I must be annoying at this point with all the requests but I was thinking and, well, would it be difficult to add the ability of the place on click option , like your first LISP file had, as well as the spacing option that is currently uses?

 

If it is to much work please don't bother... This is designed perfectly to what I had asked in the beginning and will provide me hours of saved time.

I may upgrade the above LISP also.

 

You will notice that the DCL for this was modelled from the one above.

[AQucsaiJr]

Wow... Too Cool... You can make a write up about this one now too!!! They will both be very useful to me... I can't thank you enough... I hope, sometime down the road, I can figure out how to make these programs for people in, what was, my predicament... Thank you, very much, for the help.
