zone number counting value

[Kristian Bursell]

I would like to add some values (prefixes) into the zone number but retain the automatic counting functions. Is this possible?
I was hoping to find and autotext value or similar in GDL code that defines this counting value but i could not find anything.

Thanks

I just did a quick test by adding a prefix to the room number parameter in the zone object script.
Automatic numbering still worked just fine.

Hi Kristian!

By automatic counting do you mean the auto-incrementation of zone no.?
You don’t need autotext for that, just type your prefix before the number, and place the zones. Btw. this doesn’t work for postfixes. It might not work in all versions, I’ve tested this only with AC21.

thanks Barry and Peter,

it works if you just simply type the prefix in but I want to define th prefix in the GDL code based on several other parameter values. Therefore i need to set in the GDL code: parameters ROOM_NUMBER = prefix + counting function
