Dudes and dudettes, I have tried and tried with no luck. There was a comment that one guy here removed one of the " ; " after INSERT where we see three " ;;; " in a bunch like so. Looks like some bad advice but this actually worked for me on full ACD 2014
Hi, First of all, thank you very much for this video. The instructions are clear, precise and by reading the coments section, it seems like it is working for most. However, and can't figure out why it's not working for me. I'm working with AutoCAD 2022 in french, I follow all the steps, still the new number is not showing and always print the value "1". Thank you for your help.
@@LazyArquitecto Hi sire, Actually made it work thanks to a coment. Right after the bloc name, there is 3 ";". If I only keep 2, things works just perfectly
Very happy I did it successfully, but can we have a way that after adding or removing one of the numbers, then the numbers that come after it change the order automatically?
Hey 👋 @jonaDCB happy you could automate some of your work. I'll put this into my future topics list. Have your bell 🔔 notification so you don't miss it!
@@LazyArquitecto really? thankyouu so much. I work in the organization of kitchens and throughout the process we sometimes add or remove equipments, but I can have over 100 equipments that take me a long time to change one by one. And this does not happen only 1 time for each kitchen, but it can happen 4-5 times/each. Cant wait for your tutorial. thank you so so much. PS. My block looks like a leader with triangle with base 6cm and with a small tail 20cm in the direction of the number(height 10 and perpendicular with tail)
@@LazyArquitecto Please can you expand it bit further? Do you mean to say lips routine or a lips programme? If you meant to say lips routine ? Where can I acquire this routine ? Thanks for the reply and your good work!
I also would find this very helpful with tapered insulation numbering, it always adds a lot of time and boring repetition to the task. Cut-to-falls insulation always designate the boards via A, B, C etc. Like A = 25-45mm, B = 45-65mm etc.
Muito bom trabalho, meu caro! Nice job fellow! There's only one correction that I made on my Macro Script. Instead of use 3 times the semi-colon I did use 2 times only. Then all got right for me. Thanks a lot.

Hi, I tried creating your block and believe I have the expression written correctly. The block works but does not update the attribute. You seem to have only (1) pause when reinserting...to select where you want the block placed. With my block I have (2)...the first asks for insert point and the 2nd prompts me for a number to enter into the grid bubble. Do you have any idea where I am incorrect? It looks like something I can use, if I could get it working properly. Thanks.
Try to use the semi colon 2 times only, or 3 times.
Hi! I'm stuck trying to specify the image. It doesn't appear anywhere in my folders. What do I do?
Did you save your drawing first, and then drag the block to the palette? Also if the problem persist you can always go online and get any free icon and use it for your command.
Hello Sir,
how can I add a letter before the number for example: I want to count F1 F2 F3...
Thanks,
Hi yes you can. It's a little hard to explain though, maybe I'll do another video showing that
just write F in the Block that you already made it.
You are amaizing
Welcome to the team Neer! Glad you found this Autocad block numbering tutorial useful. Where do you write me from my friend?
I cant seam to find the folder where the IMAGE folder is located as shown at 4:49, i went here D:\Users\johny\AppData\Roaming\Autodesk\AutoCAD 2019\R23.0\enu\Support\ToolPalette which is where i think you are, but its not there. Please help
Did you drag your bubble block to tool palette first?

Did you specify your image before your delete your other column bubble on tool palette?
Autocad LT -- how many USERi possible? I figured out that in AUTOCAD LT Just five youser allowed . Is that true?
Can we change the Variable USERI1 to a different variable name such as Ur1?
5 in regular Autocad too. However you'll only need 1 for this LazyCommand
Grande!
