Automatic numbering in layout tabs

[autocad.wishlist1734]

Summary: When creating layout tabs, the ability to copy a new tab and have it take on the next number or letter.

Description: Copying Tabs and have it take on the next number or letter in line.

How Used: I would use this function by copying tabs and have it give the next number or letter. This would be useful for users that are not using SSM.

Example.

You have a Tab and its name is Page 1. When I copy that tab that tab and it will automatically changes to Page 2 and etc....

I can work with letter also.

You have a Tab and its name is Page A. When I copy that tab that tab and it will automatically changes to Page B and etc....

I can work with letter-number combination also.

You have a Tab and its name is Page A1. When I copy that tab that tab and it will automatically changes to Page A2 and etc....

Oh yes. And automatically place the new tab directly to the right of the copied tab.

Amen to both of these....!

For those that don't want to wait, check out Robert's program.

If it were the next number, which would only apply if you were copying the last number in a series. Otherwise you would want it at the end, i.e. the next available number.

Unless not all tabs are named within a single sequence - M1, M2, E1,E2, etc..

I figured there would be an exception to my post, but that it would help define this wish. I just tried your scenario with Robert's prog and it is only designed for one sequence. So this wish would have to allow for multiple sequences.

But Robert's programme is a great start as I've just posted
