Does AutoCAD have a function to copy and increment text? Say I have a piece of text that says Area 1, I want to copy this text a number of times so that I get Area2, Area3, Area4 by just copying ..

I've read about a command before which can copy entities with increment via specified distance, horizontal or vertical. Now I need it but can't figure out what was that command.

View 5 Replies View Relatedi have been trying for an option called auto numbering of attributes. i have a drawing of floor plan in every room there are 5 to 6 switch boards.I have to give a code and numbers to switchboard like SB1, SB2.......SB42 etc. there are like some 150 switchboards, so i have made an attribute with code and number. problem is when ever i have to add or delete some switch boards some where in the middle. again i have to start renumbering my switch board attribute blocks again from starting. It is very time consuming. is there any command renumbering all attribute blocks in one command.

We are currently using AutoCAD Electrical. We need to do this on over 10,000 drawings so we would like to be able to write a script or lisp routine so we could run a batch across all of the drawings.

More specifically i have a floor plan with numbered rooms say 1-100... These numbers refer to a separate schedule with the actual room names and i am trying to keep them in order by plotted sheet... Say area "A" on the first sheet is numbers 1-10...
If halfway through the naming process i notice that i forgot a room in section "A" i now need to increment all the numbers 11-100 by one to 12-101 and add the room number to section "A" that now contains 1-11...
Currently i use TCOUNT to individually select each number in order 11,12,13,14 - 99, 100... to increment this way is very tedious and it would be easier if i could just select the numbers 11-100 with a bounding box and be able to extract the text, convert it to a number, increment, rewrite the original text for every selected text no matter of order..It has been so long since i have written lisp that i am not really sure where to begin..
Im using Photoshop CS5. This being the 12th version of Photoshop. I still cant find a reason why they have not put the adjustments for keyboard increments in text or leading like In design and Illustrator has. I mean, Photoshop engineers have concluded for themselves that all designers in the world increase or decrease typography in 2 pts?

View 9 Replies View RelatedNoticed that the multiple copy option has been removed from the rotate command? It used to be that I could choose the copy option in the rotate command and set a reference angle to create multiple copies of an object based on a rotational axis. Now the command will let you copy based on a reference angle, but only once. Is there a system variable I can set to bring this option back?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI am having an issue while trying to copy/paste via clipboard. I copy (with or without basepoint) on one drawing then try to paste to another drawing using ctrl v. the first two times, the object pastes. On the third attempt my cursor looks like it is trying to paste something and if I move near an object on the drawing it snaps to points, but no object pastes. After doing so I check my layer manager and the layers involved with this action do paste. After a few attempts with no luck, a weird object I have never seen before appears.
I have tried to purge and audit as well as copying the whole drawing to a new drawing but have had no luck.
Side note, after ctrl v is pressed (or ctrl shift v) the command line says something about duplication of some block name ignored.

Is there a way to copy views from another drawing? Would be nice if when you insert another drawing as a block, it would bring the views along, same way that it brings along blocks, layers, linetypes.. etc.

My AutoCAD often will not copy & paste. It prompts for insertion point and when picked nothing appears. This happens on many different drawings. Windows 7.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have an alignment that starts at station 1+00 and runs through 20+00.
By right clicking the station labels and editing the label group, I have updated my major station increments to 200' and my minor stations (ticks only) to 100'. The problem is, I want the 200' increments to begin at my starting station (1+00), so that the labels would read 1+00, 3+00, 5+00, etc.
As it is now, the above settings make my labels read: 1+00, 2+00, 4+00, 6+00, etc.
I have successfully used lisp ATTINC if normal blocks.
If not working in dynamic blocks.
When changes position of attribute becomes anonymous block (*U### = anonymous blocks).

I am currently designing a kitchen with a complete floor plan. I had requested some accessories files from a company called Pearl works and they sent me each file that I requested. The problem is that when I copy and paste each image file into my existing floor plan, they all show up as the same image and not the seperate images that should appear. Am I doing something wrong with the clipboard process?
I have also tried deleting the drawing and re-inserting a different file and when I do every file thereafter is the same as the one that I just switched.
I can't click on multiple lines to erase or copy, it will only let me do 1 line at a time.

I don't want to spend the time drawing a PL over the top of it (its a very complex) then copying that.
Version of the CHSPACE.lsp command that has a "copy" option like the one from Intellicad?This version makes a copy of the selected objects first then moves them into the space you want, leaving the original objects alone in their original space.

Just got AutoCad 2012. Commands like Mirror and Copy which involve duplication (no problem with Move or Rotate, for example) will cause AutoCad to not respond for a few minutes. I believe it only is an issue with files brought forward from AutoCad 2000.
