More lisp questions

This sort of carries on from the thread about inserting incemental numbers.

Once I have inserted the numbers on the dawing and the client sees it, they
often change their mind, which means I have to renumber the cabinets. Not
the way I would like either, I would like to let the existing cabinets keep
their number and just add new numbers for the new items.But due to the
moaning from the guys on the workshop floor, I need to start again with the
numbers.

Does anyone have a lisp that would add a vertain amount to an already
existing text string, so that if I deltee 5 cabinets, i could just add 5 to
the already placed existing cabinet numbers.

TIA

If you make yourself a block with a single attribute for this purpose, you
will find a lisp on
my site that will do the job. It'll start from any given number, use any
given interval, even allow
you to add an alpha/numeric prefix or suffix to the number. It's called
Bseq.lsp

If you want to modify it for text labelling, it should be pretty easy.

Thanks, but i only want text strings of numbers adding to really, dtext is
the command used to create them, I thought I saw a lisp routine that would
do this, I think that there was one on Cadalot, but haven't got the time to
search at the moment.

Will look toinght though.
