I have a detail box and want to use the auto numbering feature of Plotmaker. What is the command to use in the GDL script to get this done?
I looked all over the place for a part to read the code from.
TIA.

This subject can get rather complex and there are some mind bending subtleties for certain functions, but the easy bit is...
You can include the PlotMaker auto-text as a string (plain text in quotes or in the value of a string type variable) in the same format as it is in PM.
<DRAWINGNAME> for example. (I don't know if it is case sensitive, but as I recall PM uses all caps.)

Yes, it must be all CAPS.
