Automatic number increment

If the text to be added contains numbers, such as part number text or reference line text, you can define an increment, which is automatically added to the next number. For example, the increment can be 1 or 0.1.

The increment may also be negative, in which case the program deducts the given increment step from the number to be added (until reaching 0). If the text to be added is two-figure, for example 10, the previous number is 09, 08 etc.

After the first number is given, the program automatically adds the increment step to or deducts it from the next number.

When this checkbox is selected, and you have selected the Automatic number increment, the dialog box will be always opened after selecting the position for a text.
