Sequence numbers in text boxes

Using AutoCAD LT 2002, WinXP...
I often do warehousing layouts and must number the storage bins or
locations. I simply insert a text box with a number it, create a
single row array, and then individually edit each text box with the
next sequential bin number. It's very tedious.
Any way to do this faster? My knowledge on programming in CAD is
virtually null, so go easy.
Thanks for taking the time to read this.

Make a block with one attribute in it. Then go to my site and download
Bseq.lsp and save it to your path.
In the drawing APPLOAD the lisp, and then issue the command BSEQ and follow
the prompts....

 

HiHO;
I think if you go to http://groups.msn.com/AutoCADusersforum/
and post your question on the LT2002 mesage board some one
will answer it very soon. I use R2002 and it has a tool in the express
tool to do just what you want but I don't know if it will work with
LT 2002. Another solution, if you can run lisp programs on LT 2002
is a program for free from www.cadalyst.com in the "get the code"
section for Jun99, called "tip 1527a &b" download and rename to
ddaptxt.lsp and ddaptxt.dcl. The command for starting this program
is "aptxt". Hope this helps.

 

Sorry. I just noticed the LT in your post. LISP won't work in LT.

 

Hello Jason,

I sent this to your e-mail but your inbox is full or so it says

The two replies that I have read on the NG mention LISP. If this works for
you then fine.

If not the method that may work is a script file. Do you have excel?

Please send me some example data and I will try to write an excel worksheet
that writes a script to do the drawing.

See also my web site that show how to write scripts via excel
