blocks change when inserted |
|
|
I've tried searching for this, but I have no idea what I'm looking for... A new employee at our company says that at a previous job, the office had a block that could be repeatedly inserted and count up each time it was placed. For instance, "room number" block could be inserted, first click would place "Rm. 101", second click would place "Rm. 102", etc. She does not know how this was set up, or even what type/version of AutoCAD they used. Is this a customized item? Is it part of architectural desktop? This would be really useful, if we could figure it out. We have AutoCAD 2005.
Thanks!
Mary Beth

| With the built in scheduling features of ADT door, window and room tags worked in the manner you described. I don't think that plain vanilla AutoCAD has the same scheduling features as ADT, so you'd need to look into some form of LISP routine that may be able to help. |

I have used this block also, in another company, If memory services it was a
relatively simply block, when inserted in asked for a starting number, and
as it was inserted it changed accordingly. That is also how the window tags
work out of the box with ADT.

Mary Beth,
try going to http://www.michaelbulatovich.com/
Michael has a great lisp routine called bseq.lsp that will perform this very
function for you.
I am not sure how it works with 2005 however.
