Auto numbering of text in AutoCAD

Issue:

For example you have created an array of rectangle and text which are seats of a cinema. The text of the seats should be auto numbered with an increase of 1: Seat 1, Seat 2, Seat 3, ... How to achieve this in AutoCAD?

Solution:

Use therefore the Express Tool command "Auto Number" (TCOUNT). 

If you don't see the ribbon "Express Tools" you have to add this to your installation. Follow these steps:

• Start - Control Panle - Programs and Features
• Double-click "AutoCAD <version>"
• The Setup-Dialog pops up: Click "Add or Remove Features"
• Check "Express Tools"
• Click "Update"

Afterwards, you will find the command "Auto Number" in the "Express Tools"-ribbon.  

Note: The command "Auto Number" only works for text. If you have created an array before, you have to explode it first, before you can use this command.
