Element ID Manager

Anonymous — Tue, 31 Dec 2024 13:19:02 GMT

Hi!

I'm trying to number parking spaces by dropping in custom individual parking space objects and giving them automatic ID's using the Element ID Manager. The parking space objects are then labelled to show ID's.

What I need is for the ID's to be unique to each object and to go up sequentially. So I select the parking space objects sequentially, go into the Element ID Manager, select "Unique ID for Each Element" and set up the format using a counter. As all the objects to be ID'ed are the same objects on the same layer, I leave the criteria options empty.

The objects should adopt incremental ID's in the order that I've selected them but what I get instead are parking spaces with random ID's that are not in sequence.

Can anyone tell me if I'm doing something wrong here? Some of the objects are grouped to each other while some are not. Would this make a difference (I did try ungrouping all of them but get the same result)?

Cheers!

Eric Bobrow has a video on YouTube that talks specifically about the Element ID Manager. Check it out and hopefully it will answer your question. It also includes various tips and tricks about its use:
