Is there a way to automatically increment numbering in drafting?

    In Terramodel there was a command to increment from whatever number you started at. So if you were numbering lots for example you could start at 1 then just click and it would increment to 2 and so on placing the text without additional input.

    Several commands have the ability to do this when creating objects.  For example when creating nodes, if you name the first one  MH-1, then the program will suggest MH-2 for the second one. 

     

    There is not a command that will create text objects and increment the name.  This sounds like a good command to create in TML. 

     

    Can you provide an example of how you would use the incrementing?

    There will be an Increment Text command in the next release. This will do what you are asking.

    Thank you for the reply. I believe that was the command in Terramodel. Worked great.
