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

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.
enjoy ![]()

@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.
