Numerical door and window number tags/references.

[AlanW-MDL-2003]

Hi Guys,

Just moving over from Drawing Express to AutoCAD LT and I am looking for a command that will allow me to number windows and doors easily. Currently I have a command in drawing express that increases the door number each time I paste it to allow easy door/window numbering with a prefix. We tend not to create window or door schedule from these we just need to be able to number them quickly without editing the text manually each time.

Is this possible?

Many Thanks

There is no built in feature for that: you up for creating a block with an attribute AND writing some code in the CUI menu file?

ok, thanks confirming. Are you able to point me in a direction of where to find out about how to write the code and setup a block with the correct attributes?

Something that has been used in the past:

-To provide a numbering scheme as in Rooms. Text height must be zero:

-Put this on one button:
^C^C_setenv;StartWithNumber;\_setenv;TextInFront;\

-Put this on a second button: (I added the Textstyle set portion S;Standard;)
*^C^C_text;S;Standard;\;;$M=$(getenv,textinfront)" "$(getenv,startwithnumber);setenv;startwithnumber;$(+,1,$(getenv,startwithnumber));^M;
