Addon to TabSort LISP - Automatically next index

thomas_schluesselberger — Mon, 06 Feb 2023 10:31:20 GMT

Hello!

Following situation:
In my drawing, the layouts are named according to the following structure:

[plan content]_[floor - sector]_[index number] e.g.: "ELEKTRO_EG-BT1_G"

I use LeeMac's LISP "TabSort" to edit my layouts.
Currently, when I create a new index, I always have to rewrite the letters by hand.

I would like that there is an extra button with "next index" in the LISP.

And this button automatically sets all selected layouts to the next index letter (always in alphabetical order). In this example from "G" to "H".

The Index is always on the last position of the layoutname. The structure in front of it can be varying.

Sometimes the indexes become so many that i have to add a second row of letters, then the index looks like this for example: "AG".

In this case the extra button should only change the second letter to "AH".

Also if the current index is "Z" it should automatically change it to "AA"

The TabSort LISP is attached below.

I'm looking forward for your replies.

@thomas_schluesselberger, I can't help you with this, but I wanted to ask if you are using the SheetSet manager. While it's not automated, it does have a rename function that will step through the project.

Hi!

Thanks for your answer. No i don't use the SheetSet manager (never heard of it before).
I'm gonna give it a try and test if it helps me.
