I'm trying to model a 17x17 fuel assembly and each fuel pin needs to be numbered. Each channel number needs to be numbered too (18x18). I drew the assembly and I'm numbering each fuel pin and channel individually (very time consuming).

Is there an easier/quicker way to number each fuel pin and channel?

autocad = crap for 3d

that being said i'm using it now.

3/12/2008 3:25:22 PM

i tried the array but it will only array the one number I choose

and yes I realize that AutoCad sucks.

im glad i dont use autocad.

we have a whole team of people that do that stuff for us

Why don't you array the one value/ number, and then go in and edit the values. That would be faster than individually placing each one.

^that's what I did

took me awhile though....I have to do it another ~5000 times
