Increasing valued annotation

Increasing valued annotation

Hello,

I am trying to create an array of annotations marking every 100 feet on a highway and was wondering if there was a way to automatically have the value of the text annotation increase by 1 every 100 feet. Thanks

Are you using CIVIL3D or trying to do road design in just plain AUtoCAD?

Hello @Anonymous, 

 

In AutoCAD, you can add block attribute definitions after you create one or more attribute definitions(Tags) you attach them to a block by including them in the selection set when you define or redefine/edit that block. You can use these tags for labels, numbering, manuf. information etc.

@Anonymous  hi,

 

here is a solution specially made for you.

 

attached rdinc.zip file contains lisp rdinc.VLX + block STA-TAG.dwg. save the dwg in a library folder which is on AutoCAD support files search path (this is important) put rdinc.VLX in appload startup suite - do you know how?

 

Command: RDINC

Starting number <1>:               ; stations starting number

Increment <1>:                         ; increment number by

Segment length <100'>:          ; by default is 100 feet as you requested

Select objects:                          ; pick 1 continued polyline or spline

 

RDINC is based on MEASURE, block sta-tag is inserted at scale 1x1. if needed enter bedit and scale it to achieve other scale or you can turn it into a annotative block. the circle inside is covered by a wipeout to hide the polyline beneath.

@Anonymous  hi,

 

Attached an update of rdinc.zip, extract the files in some library folder let's say C:\LIB - ok?

the zip file include a sample.dwg just ready for you to run. i draw a center road (a polyline).

 

invoke APPLOAD on Load\Unload applications dialog under startup suite click Contents to open Startup Suite dialog, click Add and browse to c:\lib and double click on rdinc.VLX than Close + Close. 

 

now, open sample.dwg and invoke RDINC command and follow the instructions i gave you last time.

remember you are in Engineering units.
