     Topic: Make object counting     Posted: 30.Jul.2015 at 19:28 | 
 
 
  
   
   
   Hey folks! When I'm creating maps, I have to make coordinate countings, I always change the point names manually....  So I'm thinking if there's a more clever way to make this, to make the first coordinate point show "PP-0", the next one "P-01", "P-02", and so on.

   It's called "incrementing" and there are lisp programs that do that.  Try searching for one.

  It is bad practice to hijack a thread started by someone else to post an unrelated question.

Hello Waleed Ahmed, first you can create your own topic ( see here above ).  
  
For your subject see the topic N° 6606 How to create AutoCAD geometry from Excel. 
  
You should also see tip N° 8379 How to generate 3D surface with a mathematic expression and 
 tip N° 8030 Clic points to export from AutoCAD to Excel.

   Are you asking about the SCRIPT command?  Should be some information in your AutoCAD Help file.  The hard part is actually writing the script.
