Insert multiple blocks?

I'm working on a lisp where it prompts a user on how many blocks it wants in a drawing, and it would insert that many spaced .25 apart.
How do I insert the multiple blocks?
Let's say the user wants 10 blocks, so it has to bring them in and space them accordingly. I'm kind of lost here, how do i get it to realize if it has inserted enough or not?

Thanks,
Viktor

 

Something like this.....
call this little function like so:
(multi-insert "myblock" 10 pt1); where the 10 is number of blocks and pt1 is
the insertion point of the first block

(defun multi-insert (bname num insPt / )
(repeat num
(command "-insert" bname insPt 1.0 1.0 0.0)
(setq insPt (list (+ (car insPt) 0.25);<--this is the spacing in the x
direction
(cadr insPt)
(caddr insPt)
))
)
)

 

Hallo Viktor,

Why don't you consider (command "MINSERT" "MYBLOCK" "pt1" "1" "1" "0" "" num
space)?

thanks for replies, i never heard of MINSERT, tried it and works kind of like i want it, now i just need to put it in there. and automatically number the tags, i think i can figure it out.
thanks again,
Viktor

 

ok, misinert does not work for me since i have attributes that need to increment on each block.
So, any other tricks around it?
