I have no idea how to word the title of this so apologies
 
im working on some electrical dwgs and was wondering if there was a way of copying a load of circuit references from the ground floor to the first floor but being able to change the first part of the reference? for example:
 
ground floor circuits are 1-1/2L1
first floor circuits will be 2-1/2L1
second floor circuits will be 3-1/2L1
 
i used to have ATNUM lisp where you could have a pre-fix and then the reference, so possibly something like that where you can amend all of the pre-fix in one go like GATTE
 
I realise its the height of laziness but I have a lot of floors to copy these references over to..... anything to make this job quicker and easier!

A lisp routine with a prefix/suffix option would definitely be the way to go.
