fire alarm devices auto numbering

[Anonymous]

Hi,

 My english is not good and i am beginer level in auto cad..i am not familier with lisp.

I have a drawing which has 1000 smoke detector devices. and each device should have number by sequence, starting from 1 and continue. and in future if i remove one device this all chain of numbers should automatticaly arrange .is it possible by lisp? when i copy paste new block number should change.... if yes please let me know in easy words and step by step...

thanks in advance.

I made a small screen capture for you.

I don't know what is the correct shape of Alarm Device Mark. I used a rectangle.
Numbering is in order that objects were created!!!

In the video I used some  shortcuts of my own COPY, ROTATE, MOVE... You will notice where... Sorry about that... just use the regular commands.
Sorry for misspelling "alarm"...

Link for the video.

There is another way - a professional package dedicated for design of low voltage installations (especially fire alarm) - WarAn.

It can automatically number detectors, insert (or remove) detectors and re-number them, add additional description, and draw a block scheme.

See for Yourself (only in Polish): https://www.warancad.pl/download/

And some tutorials on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCqPdmxbui5d0J9qmXg0EXwQ especially  the one about numbering detectors: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CS06_cadpyE

If your happy with numbering based on creation order then its easy via a lisp, the second method a bit more complex sorts the objects based on their number order and renumbers them based on start number and increment. I did something recently maybe not here.

Post a dwg need to see your alarm.
