If you need to insert blocks with incrementing numbers in attributes, or automatically renumber existing blocks in your DWG drawing. Incremental Numbering Suite enables the user to dynamically place incrementing alphabetical or numerical text in a drawing, with a range of positioning utilities and an optional prefix and/or. Auto. CAD Insider: Annotation. When you create notes in a design drawing, you often need to format them with bullets or sequential numbers/letters. Although you can insert bullets, numbers, and letters manually, it is time consuming and manual lists are difficult to maintain. Fortunately, beginning with Auto.

CAD 2. 00. 8 when the three original buttons (Bullets, Numbering and Lettering) were combined into a single flyout button with menu options. The same flyout menu is displayed when you right- click in the Mtext editor. The first four options in the menu (Off, Lettered, Numbered, Bulleted) enable you to specify the type of formatting (if any) to apply to the selected paragraph.

For example, when trimming objects. CAD only applies automatic list formatting if you press the Tab key following the special character. It does not apply list formatting when you press the spacebar.
