If I place a string of text that includes letters and numbers then the text increment tool no longer works in V8i select 1
In V8i I could use this command but I had to drop the element from a text node to a text element. In this version that doesn't work
Please fix this
Text with letters are placed as a text node no matter how many lines you have
single line text with only numbers are place as a Text Element
I am having trouble reproducing your issue. I can place text elements that have both letter and numbers, and the copy/increment text tool seems to work fine on them. Can you provide an offending DGN file and/or additional steps to reproduce?
In this file I have 4 trouble spots
a.works fine
b.text and number -dropped to text...doesn't work
c.Text & number still a text node ...doesn't work
2.Text increment with enter data fields
a.Each field is handle a separate field so if you want to fill a field you have to tag both fields
3.Can't increment form 9 (single digit) to 10 this makes sense because of the behavior above
4.What is causing my text to have large gaps in between
5.Run the verify dgn command and notice the Range errors
It appears that If I create a new file and place text using the default text "none"I don't have any problems.
Now if I change that text style to AWM-xm then the problems show up.
Even if I go back to the default text and try to place text and increment it doesn't work. I have to delete the Awm-xm style
And run verify dgn
The file Text increment.dgn is the one with all of the bugs
Test inc2.dgn is where I discovered text style none works but my text style AWm-xm does not. Why Idon't know

Your text style has 'full justification' enabled. This forces a text node for any string more than one character (I think pre-SS1 it created a text node even for a single character). The purpose of full justification is to insert space between words so that each line in a piece of text has words on the left and right boundaries (i.e. similar to newspaper columns).
1b. Due to the text node requirement for full justification, dropping actually creates an invalid element, thus the related issues here. You'll also notice that after dropping, if you round-tripped the element through an editor it would fix itself and become a text node again.
1c. Copy/Increment doesn't work on text nodes -- known limitation.
3. I believe even if you were to make a single text element with two EDFs, we would not increment from 9-10 since we would not modify the independent EDFs as a single unit.
4. This is what full justification does.
5. I'm not terribly familiar with the verify dgn app; I can see it report range errors, but it doesn't even tell me which elements have the problem... I don't think that's related to the text problems however.
i have the same problem,
i use place text icon an put some easy keys and the increment dont work fix it!!!!!
plis tell me the icon or key in need to place a simple tex for make a increment
its very important to my work make tags and increment
