&lt;p&gt;Thank You for your macro, it helps me with my work.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I&amp;#39;ve got one more qustion to You - how to maintain trailing zero, now when I increment by 0.1 after 459.9 the result is 460 not 460.0 - can you tell where in the code I should do some changes?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;To others:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;My workflow to annotate chainage:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;1. Create complex chain&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;2. Annotate first point eg. 459.0&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;3. Array text (not text node) along path by distance for first km&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;4. Run&amp;nbsp;&lt;span&gt;&lt;a title="LA Solutions" href="http://www.la-solutions.co.uk/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"&gt;LA Solutions&lt;/a&gt;&amp;#39;s&amp;nbsp;TextIncrementor macro by key-in:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;5. Select text to increment&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;6. Copy or array first km 459.0 ...459.9 to next kilometers&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I have some problem with copy/increment text that I cannnot solve by above tips and any other I tried to find on forum.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I was trying to use some forum&amp;#39;s macros but i haven&amp;#39;t got what i want.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Here is my problem:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I need to annotate&amp;nbsp;some 100 meteres points by chainage in fomat 000.0 (comma or point doesn&amp;#39;t matter for my drawing).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;When I&amp;#39;m using copy/increment tool it allows me to increment by integer numer ( help file says), so when i set tag increment to 1 it increments my 459.1 + 1(increment)&amp;nbsp;the&amp;nbsp;result is 459.2 but when it comes to 459.9+1 the result is 459.10 and it istn&amp;#39;t what i want = 460.0. Do you have any solution for that?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Below is screen with my tries...&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Sometimes people just have to renumber things. The numbers are not in a straight line or even equidistant. When one support or whatever has to be added or removed, then the rest just have to be renumbered. Of course we&amp;#39;re talking hundreds of numbers in no particular direction that all need to be incremented.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I found MathsText_V7 here &lt;a href="http://communities.bentley.com/products/microstation/microstation_-_all_pre-v8_versions/f/140/p/69148/180042.aspx#180042" rel="nofollow" target="_new"&gt;communities.bentley.com/.../180042.aspx&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;, but nothing that actually works for V8. Would have been really cool if it worked.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Selecting the numbers first and then executing the command is required. If elements are selected that are not supported then just skip those. Karsten&amp;#39;s macro could also be a good starting point if it weren&amp;#39;t PW protected and so limited in what texts you can use it on. 8, 9, 10, 11 just won&amp;#39;t go to 9, 10, 11, 12, it just changes one character, and seems to emove leading zeros as well.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>Re: Copy &amp; Increment Text</title><link>https://communities.bentley.com/thread/205973?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Tue, 17 Apr 2012 16:34:40 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">6dad98f5-dbc9-4c4d-a9ba-e9da8dc6aa8e:348ff2f5-47a6-48e7-b307-e8c959a4bc75</guid><dc:creator>Lorys</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Wow! thanks Karsten...&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;text has to be A1 or a1 or 1A or 1a or&amp;nbsp; single Letter a/A/1&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;vba run increment_first&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;increments the first Letter or digit&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;vba run increment_second&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;increments the&amp;nbsp;second Letter or digit&lt;/p&gt;

Here is my workflow:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;When setting up files where there are multiple sheets and need sequential numbers, I always use AccuDraw to set them up at a specific spacing which can vary depending upon the scale. For arguments sake, lets assume these are 200 master units horizontally or 100 units vertically.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;After I place my starting number. I select the copy and increment tool and data point on my number. Next, I key in:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;DX=200,0|[number of copies needed] if I am using horizontally spaced sheets, or&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;DX=0,100|[number of copies needed]&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Note: the character between the DX= and the [number of copies needed] is the pipe or vertical bar | character.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This works for other types of copy commands too.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>Re: Copy &amp; Increment Text</title><link>https://communities.bentley.com/thread/186109?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Thu, 06 Oct 2011 20:00:09 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">6dad98f5-dbc9-4c4d-a9ba-e9da8dc6aa8e:462d1c56-9c7f-429a-8c38-243a1fc4a156</guid><dc:creator>RobertArnold</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Hi,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Don&amp;#39;t you hate it when there are no right answers? &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The check spelling command ignores all invalid elements...&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;When would a person want to increment more than one text element by the same increment at the same time? &amp;nbsp;I guess if on my detail sheet I had the top detail numbers filled in, I could increment them all by one as I&amp;#39;m going to the next row...&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;For me and my little issue, I would be fine limiting the selection to a single element. &amp;nbsp;As an alternate, Microstation could have a a prompt saying to use Ctrl-Click to set a new origin in the verb-noun mode, or something like that.. Or if you allowed the noun-verb, ctrl-click to add elements to selection.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I have no good answers, just ideas.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;--Thanks,&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;If there are three lines and all lines contain numbers, then they won&amp;#39;t be able to change the number on the second line, but I haven&amp;#39;t seen text this used like that. There a bunch of lsp routines out there that do similar things, some with few, some with more options.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>Re: Copy &amp; Increment Text</title><link>https://communities.bentley.com/thread/186093?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Thu, 06 Oct 2011 19:19:51 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">6dad98f5-dbc9-4c4d-a9ba-e9da8dc6aa8e:125b4581-c215-452a-aa6c-fdf85143b63b</guid><dc:creator>John Frampton</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;There is an issue with allowing this command in the noun-verb fasion. &amp;nbsp;What if you had elements selected that did not allow this type of operation. &amp;nbsp;Select your entire design and then fire off the command, now what? &amp;nbsp;Also what if you selected multiple things that the command did work on. &amp;nbsp;100, 10, 22A &amp;nbsp;Should we only allow the command to work in in the fashion where noun = 1 text element? &amp;nbsp;If you have noun = multiple or noun=n text elements then we go to the workflow of verb noun?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Koert,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;When working with textnodes how should we handle A1/B2 on multiple lines? &amp;nbsp;(simple example I know) &amp;nbsp;Or would it be ok to limit the command if there are multiple lines of text?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Thanks for your thoughts on this.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>Re: Copy &amp; Increment Text</title><link>https://communities.bentley.com/thread/185495?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Fri, 30 Sep 2011 17:01:08 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">6dad98f5-dbc9-4c4d-a9ba-e9da8dc6aa8e:36060413-e4ae-4e41-9c74-9b282dc17c92</guid><dc:creator>Koert</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Several Change Requests have already been filed for this: CR# 20581, CR#103610 and CR#103442&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>Re: Copy &amp; Increment Text</title><link>https://communities.bentley.com/thread/185490?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Fri, 30 Sep 2011 16:24:16 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">6dad98f5-dbc9-4c4d-a9ba-e9da8dc6aa8e:de6207fd-bfeb-4a6f-b233-a89e10a69d0e</guid><dc:creator>John Frampton</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Since this is a preexisting issue I brought this out into the light for all to share input. &amp;nbsp;If this is a much desired feature I would reccommend putting up a poll to see community interest and then have a change request files on it.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>Re: Copy &amp; Increment Text</title><link>https://communities.bentley.com/thread/185476?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Fri, 30 Sep 2011 12:00:25 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">6dad98f5-dbc9-4c4d-a9ba-e9da8dc6aa8e:8ced1e79-7534-434d-aab4-3645f57f7e5f</guid><dc:creator>Koert</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;There is certainly room for improvement there.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Another thing that is rather annoying is that it only works on texts and not on text nodes. When you place a text, even something as simple as A1, in a DWG then text is always converted to a text node wich means the copy increment text tool doesn&amp;#39;t work at all when working in a DWG. Even saving the DWG as a DGN will still have the tool not work on text originating from the DWG (even after dropping the complex status to simple text).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If they&amp;#39;re going to work on this tool they might as well consider adding the option of incrementing the text instead of the number. e.g. from 7A to 7B, 7C, etc.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
