I'm looking for a tool out there for sequential auto-numbering... something that uses the edit tool (or something similar) to simply click on a polygon and drop a number in the designated field in sequence, and it would obviously have to be easy to reset as the edit session progresses.
I used a customized one before, but that was years ago. Anyone have any resources? I know there are scripts out there to use in the Field Calculator to auto-number a field in sequence, but this has to be a tool that is interactive with the polygon features on the map. I'm sure something simple is out there, and no point in reinventing wheels.
Thanks.
Hi Scott,
Take a look at the Attribute Assistant:

You should be able to accomplish this using the autonumber method:

Jake, that sounds like it would work, thanks. Two questions, first, can you put the download in a shared folder in dropbox or somewhere simliar? The download is 260MB (compressed) and it continues to get hung up around 26MB when I try and download it. Second, will the tool work with a polygon feature class? What I see mentioned in the list of uses seems to apply to points and lines.
Thanks again.

Have you tried another solution download to obtain the attribute assistant?

Also, this should work for polygon feature classes as well.
Jake, I see what you are saying. I used the gas-network editing one and it was only about 19.4MB which downloaded fine. I'll have to set up the field in my parcel layer to see if I can make it work. I'll post here to let you know. I for sure like how this is set up though, with a map document and all that has symbology which could be used for other projects. Thanks again.
