Ozzie Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 The old Number Stamp Tool which will incrementally add numbers to objects ... In my case say incrementally lot numbers to as many houses I have in a landscape design This old Legacy one I use which we can still add to a Workspace does not respond to Text Styles and the Text it adds is just Text in a group to each lot Is there anything else that can add incremental say lot numbers and that responds to Text Styles?

Tom Klaber Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 You could try Savvy Sequencer. Quote Link to comment
Ozzie Posted May 24, 2016 Author Share Posted May 24, 2016 Thanks Tom will have a look But ... Don't you and others think the old Number Stamp tool could be re built / fixed so that it responds to Text Styles and may do other things that users or NV want it to Heading over to Wish Lists now D Quote Link to comment
Tom Klaber Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 ....I am embarrassed to say that I do not know the number stamp tool... I will look into it. Quote Link to comment
RickR Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 I posted this over in the Arch forum for someone that wanted to number walls. The file has a symbol, record format and worksheet. Change the symbol and record format to suit. I use the worksheet to set the numbers. Sorting by location can make that pretty easy. Quote Link to comment
Tom Klaber Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 Are you asking for a symbols record formats to take on conditional formatting? Essentially over-riding the symbol definition? Quote Link to comment
Ozzie Posted May 25, 2016 Author Share Posted May 25, 2016 No I just want the Number Stamp Tool to do what it does now but with Text Styles working in it Just drop off the end of your cursor with suffix and prefix if you want them and database functionality D Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee PVA - Admin Posted May 25, 2016 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted May 25, 2016 Agreed. Of all the tools that have become Legacy over the years, this is easily the most common one users have asked how to re-add to their workspace. I'll grab the metrics on its use and submit a request for it to be brought back out of mothballs and updated to include support for things like Text Styles. Quote Link to comment
Ozzie Posted May 26, 2016 Author Share Posted May 26, 2016 Thanks Jim and thanks also for everything you do here Quote Link to comment
Jim Kunzendorf Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 Jim, the German Version of Vectorworks has a "Multi stamp Tool". A "must have" in my opinion. I was hoping for years now that this Feature will be available in the international Version too. Any chance to see it in the future? best regards Mike "Jim" Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee PVA - Admin Posted May 31, 2016 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted May 31, 2016 Not sure, I don't get insider access on a lot of the international/localized development, some of it eventually comes back into the base application and some stays only in the localization it was originally introduced to. The German version may be the most heavily customized if I recall correctly. However I can request that it be added in any case. Quote Link to comment
