Free text counter AutoLISP utility.

If you need to quickly renumber a series of text or mleader entities in AutoCAD, you can use the free AutoLISP utility "ARKANCE IncText" - see

Download.

Load the VLX file (APPLOAD) and start the IncText command. Select the texts and mleaders to renumber (window selection selects them by the history of creation). IncText replaces the original texts with automatically incremented numbers. You can specify the initial number, the increment (integer or decimal), decimal precision, and alternatively add a fixed prefix or suffix to the texts.

See the IncText counter in action:

IncText can be a replacement of an older Express Tool TCOUNT.

If you want to use decimal numbers with decimal comma (instead of decimal point) as the delimiter, set the inctext:UseDC variable before starting IncText:

(setq inctext:UseDC T)
