MeTheMachine Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 I have a drawing of a 3 million sq ft building, with numerous columns that I need to label. You can see what I have going on in the uploaded image. J3, K3, L3, etc. Is there a tool/object I can put at a column and say "A" and "1" and then increment? Similar to numbering instruments in spotlight? So far I've been duplicating and editing each one. Is there a simpler way? Quote Link to comment
markdd Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 Have you tried the number stamp tool? It’s a legacy tool and you will probably need to load it into your workspace. Looks like it’s just what you need. Quote Link to comment

RGyori Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 Which begs the questions why such a simple but useful tool is a "legacy tool". Quote Link to comment
markdd Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 If you are going to do this kind of work a lot then there is also another solution that will act like the automatic numbering in Spotlight. You will need to install this plug-in by Josh Benghiat. It's an automatic numbering tool. What you can then do is create a symbol with a data record attached according to your needs and then run the tool on the selection of the symbols. It works really well. Quote Link to comment
