I'll start a new topic to stay focus on beer.

This is a first cut of the A-version of the Pabst B.R. steel reefer; I was just curious of propotions. I like the result but I have a big conflict with autonumbering location (worst scenario would be to switch the 2 logos - even then it would not work). if you have any ideas let's hear it...

Rought cut...

How about this scheme?

Hi Buzz,

The reefer's main graphics are quite straight forward; again the autonumber (way high and on right side panels) will be the same problem. I don't know a reefer nor a PS1-box car( seems similar) that have their numbers at right; most are located on the left of the doors.

My limited knowledge of autonumbers imbedded within the shape file can be resumed to : if shifting lateraly the values in the .geopcdx file the bloody autonumbers located at each end will shift in a crazy way (I can't fathom why the are linked!); but I cannot change the shapefile - only Michael Stephan could come up with a solution

That is why I am interested in beeing able to do auto-numbers as a decal+child object; but is quite uninformed HOW!

Till then, I think I have a winning combination and WE HAVE FULL AUTO-NUMBERING operational. That one is for minerman146.
P.S. The autonumbers and car specs will be changed to white (slowly but surely)
