How to increment the numbers in DWG texts by a specified value, e.g. +1, +10?

You can use the NumInText utility for operations with numbers in drawing texts - single-line texts, paragraph texts and attributes. To increase (increment) numbers in a DWG drawing, use its Add option.

It is indifferent whether the number forms a standalone text or is used in combination with other descriptive text - e.g. Room No.123. The selected texts will be processed so that the numbers contained in them are increased by the specified value, e.g. 100. The label text "Room No.123" becomes "Room No.223", the text "Rooms No.124" becomes "Room No.224", etc.

NumInText searches only for decimal numbers by default. If you want to work with integers, you need to enable this option in the Setup option, or pre-set the LISP variable:

(setq _numintextDoInts T)

The usage of NumInText is described in more detail in the Tip 11289.
