General Operation User Manual
In the "Input" group, enter the following values:
Start Value and End Value
Numbering can be in ascending or descending order.
The default settings in the Start Value and End Value fields are based on the number of fields
selected at the time the dialog opens.
Prefix
You can prefix one or more alphanumeric characters to the counted value. (e.g. Conductor or C
or 2004-)
Suffix
You can append one or more alphanumeric characters to the counted value (e.g. left or X).
Block
This software defines a block as an additional counter inserted between the prefix and the start
value.
The "Options" group is where you make the following settings:
Step
This field contains the value by which the start value will be increased/reduced.
Examples:
With start value = 1, end value = 20 and increment = 3, the following sequence of numbers is
generated: 1, 4, 7, 10, 13, 16, 19
With start value = 8, end value = 2 and increment = 2, the following sequence is generated: 8, 6,
4, 2
With start value = A, end value = K and increment = 2, the following sequence is generated:
A, C, E, G, I, K
Block Step
This is where you specify the value by which you want to increment the block, e.g. block = 0 and
block step = 2. Example: 0, 2, 4, 6….
Duplicate each value
Use this field to specify how many times you want to duplicate each value.
If you enter the value 2 in the field, the following sequence is generated for numbering from 1 to
5: 1, 1, 2, 2, 3, 3, 4, 4, 5, 5.
