I just finished a small tool for adding objects (points, lines, plines and polygons) to an open table with an automatic ID. Integer or smallint are used starting from value after maximum observed in the table. Alpha ID are part alpha (first n positions) part digits (next p positions), the automatic part concerning only the “numeric” portion.

 

As in my immediate contacts I have not found a clear consensus on an “universal” structure for Alpha ID, I am offering the tool with the above option as a beta version, hoping that you will tell me of other schemes that I could integrate eventually in it.

 

www.paris-pc-gis.com/Beta/beta.htm  AddObjectsWithID.zip is last in that list.

 

Hoping it could help some of you.
