Numbering

A>V>C>

Name the drawing objects as sequential numbers. Save time when working with plugins Lay, Sawing Table, Mark, and Smart Leader.

Trial

In order not to waste time assigning numbers to parts, the AVCNum command was created. It will help speed up the work for those who already use the plugins Lay, Data Table, Sawing Table, Mark, and Smart Leader.

  • The command asks the user to select any objects in the drawing, measures them, finds identical ones, sorts them in the order you specify by size, and gives each a name as a number.

  • You can simply put numbers in texts, MLeader, block attributes (including virtual), or you can save the number in invisible properties of objects, such as solids or polylines.

  • You can choose where the number will be written: in the text, in the object name, in additional properties Kind and Info (Description), or in any non-constant attributes of blocks. If you order the revision of additional properties for solids or contours, then you can also write numbers in them.

  • The program works with all the main objects of the drawing, except tables. The command works with Block Reference but does not work with block definitions (Block Table record), so it cannot change the block name and constant attributes.

  • The same objects are given the same name. But you can turn off the merging of the same.

  • You can flexibly customize the numbering order (sorting) using any object properties. For example, from large to small or by position in the model from right to left. And if you need to number objects along a tricky path, use the Numbering On Curve command.

  • You can customize the command to find and number objects within assembly blocks.

  • You can number parts in multiple DWG or DXF drawings at once.

  • You can number all objects visible through the viewport or ModelDoc=ViewBase view (selecting by view).

  • You can group objects and make a separate numbering for each group or sequential numbering of all groups.

  • The numbering template allows you to substitute not only the number but also any properties of the object. For example, you can insert the name of the assembly block or insert the length of the part. And you can add any text before or after the number.

  • You can add any text (prefix) before the numbers every time the numbering is called without changing the template.

  • You can number not only with numbers but also with Latin and Cyrillic letters, Roman numerals, and hexadecimal numbers.

  • The start number can be set arbitrarily through the command options or the settings window.

  • The ending number is stored in the Number_of_details property of the drawing, and the numbering can be automatically continued on the next call.

  • The program can skip parts that you have already assigned a non-numeric name using the A>V>C> Properties Palette.

  • The program can ignore annotations and unnecessary layers. This is especially important when working inside assembly blocks.

  • You can configure up to 9 numbering styles and quickly switch them from the command line.

  • You may also find it useful to use the “Select No Name” (SNN) command to find objects that you forgot to give a name to mistakenly. Read about her below.

By using this program, you ensure that the parts have the same names in the Lay, Sawing Table and Smart Leader commands. The availability plug-in A>V>C> Properties Palette is not necessary. If you have a plug-in “A>V>C> Properties Palette” you can edit the name of each part by hand. You can quickly identify the same parts by name using the SSO command.

If you want to manually tell the program in what order to assign numbers to parts or texts, number table cells, or rename blocks, then all these options are available in a separate program called Manual Numbering.

Another way to choose the numbering order is Numbering along the Сurve.

Also, the AVCNum command can be found as part of plugins A>V>C> Kit and A>V>C> Pro. Some commands (DataTable, Sawing Table, Lay, Mark, DXF Export) can cause numbering on their own - just check the Numbering option in their settings.

Regardless of the AutoCAD localization language, you can switch the plugin to English, Italian, German, Russian, Chinese (PRC), Spanish, French, or Turkish localization.
