Sequential Numbers

This command draws a text label and then increments to the next value for additional labels. The label can optionally be placed inside a circle, square or other symbol. The size of the symbol adjusts to fit the label size.

In the dialog, specify the Text label. The text Prefix and Suffix are optional. The Text Size Scaler is the text size in paper units that gets multiplied by the horizontal scale from Drawing Setup to set the text drawing size or Text Size Dwg Units. The Justification setting controls the text justification mode. The Size By Symbol method uses a fixed symbol size and sizes the label to fit within the symbol. When Auto Increment Labels is checked, the value entered in the Text field will be incremented by the value in the Increment field. The Group Label With Symbol option will make a group of the label text and symbol. When Prompt for Alignment Every Time is checked, you will be prompted for the alignment angle for each label, otherwise the alignment from the first label is automatically used for the other labels. The Draw Leader option creates a leader from the label to a picked point.

The label is drawn by combining the Prefix, Text and then Suffix into one text label. When placing multiple labels, the text portion of the label will increment by the value in the Increment field. For example, this command could be used to quickly label a series of boundaries by setting the Prefix to "Perimeter" and the Text field to the starting number. Then pick points inside the boundaries to label as "Perimeter 1", "Perimeter 2", etc.
