Is it possible to choose fixtures, use script write 2 value(Channel and Unit number) and after this the fixtures autonumbered? If yes how to do it?

Take a look at @Sam Jones Autoplot Tools for Spotlight.

I don't know it it has this exact functionality, but it does amazing things with Spotlight data.

I don't understand the functionality being described.

Do  you want to enter an number for the Unit Number and a different number for the Channel, and then have fixtures that are placed automatically have incremented values placed in fixtures that are then placed afterwords?  If so, this cannot be done  in Spotlight, but the Spotlight numbering command will enter incremented unit number values and channel values starting with different numbers all at the same time.  There have been reported issues with channel numbering, but I think that has been addressed.

The Spotlight Numbering tool will do what you describe.

 

Savvy Sequencer and Savvy Select Similar Instrument have some additional numbering features, but can only target one field at a time:

The first version of Savvy Sequencer was in VS, and there's quite a bit to take into account to do this properly, both in terms of resetting Lighting Devices, dealing with cells and accessories, and providing for multi-dimensional sorting.
