[auto numbering symbols]

Hello,

I've made a symbol and want to have an autonumbering "id"-field in an attached recordformat. Is this possible to create? Do I have to make a script to make this happen? And what will be the best way of inserting these symbols: place them using the object browser or make a button with a script attached?

greets,

Brrt

Thanks for your post. I couldn't find how to name an object without using Vectorscript. Because of that I couldn't get correct handles to my objects.

The previous post already helped me out!

Thanks for your fast reply Raymond, you helped me a lot with this info!

If somebody has tips/hints for my second question, please don't hesitate to post it or to contact me privately.

[naming an object so vectorscript can use it]

Hello,

If you have drawn an object, is it possible to give this object a name? Because I would like to make a handle to this object in vectorscript (using GetObject function).

I know it is possible to give a name using NameObject, but this only assigns a name to the object next created.

The deeper problem: I try to link a record format to a symbol. The information in the record formats is different for each symbol-instance. When I try to get a value from a recordfield, I only get the "default" value instead of the value assigned to a specific instance.

So I need to adress a symbol-instance, but I can't get this working.

Any ideas? Is there some kind of internal naming of symbolinstances?
