Wondering if there is a way to select a collection of text fields and either auto number the text from left to right, radially, or any other way. Working on a collection of diagrams where I would like to do something similar. alternatively to auto generate them within certain parameters the way the duplicate array function works.
I'm aware of a couple ways to do this but wanted to know if there were simpler methods.
1st, I know I could use spotlight to auto number by clicking objects I've made using its auto numbering tool.
2nd, I know I could use the number stamp to place them sequentially.
3rd, I know I could create a symbol and make linked text records and then do a quick data input after the first one.
Just looking for any more elegant ways to possibly do this on the fly as I will have varying orientations in 2d space. I have an example of the basic numbering idea below that I would hope to do in a couple of clicks rather than manually typing each number or manually clicking on each numbered spot.

Please ask if anything doesn't make senes.
Thanks.
