Varying tag

[Anonymous]

Hi;

Currently this lisp routine inserts a block with attribute.
Every time the same block is inserted, a dialog box
pops up showing tag as numeral one (1), and I change it
to a different number (sequentially increasing), and click
OK to show the block with new tag (i.e. 1, 2 ,3 etc).

Is there a way to (programmatically) increment the tag
and display it as a new tag in the block (block is a circle
with numbers inside) and then finish the insert command?

Thanks
mike

Mike, I use the following for inserting a room number block with the number
increasing by 1 for each block inserted. It only works while the command is
active. If you restart, you must input the value to begin with.

In my .mns file I have the following line:
(setq BNR (GETINT "Beginning Number: "));\MULTIPLE;RMNO;

In my .mnl file I have the following:
(defun c:RMNO ()
(setq a (itoa bnr))
(command "insert" "box" "s" f pause 0 a)
(setq bnr (+ 1 bnr)))

Notice that you must set the value of "bnr" before you start the
multiple;rmno; command. This allows the value to increase each time the
block is inserted. Hope this helps.

Thanks for your reply.
Actually, I have it working now.
It was easier than I thought it
would be.
