What's the highest Number?!


Recommended Posts

I need a way of finding out what the highest number is of a specific record and then putting it on the drawing (ideally auto updating!)

 

This is for a few things, chair/table number (don' really like the auto creation tool!) and cable numbers on schematics, these are just a couple of current requirement, but i just think it would be really useful!

You probably want to move this over to the scripting forum. There’s no magic bullet here, especially to work universally, but the algorithm is fairly straight forwards:

 

Define a global variable = 1

 

iterate through objects with a ForEachObject command

 

Get the value of your ID field and convert to number 

 

if the value is greater than the global, set the global to the value

 

once through all the objects, return the global
