Default UI Menu: Draw/Text/Text Numbering

Ribbon UI Menu:

Text Numbering allows the selection of multiple text entities, enabling the choice of a starting number and an increment. The text can be prefixed or suffixed with auto-numbering, or the auto-numbering can replace the existing text. This feature is particularly useful for counting numerous items, such as parking places. By copying a single text entity into each parking place, then selecting all the text and applying auto-numbering, each parking place can be efficiently counted.

Enabling this tool allows for the selection of multiple text entities and the generation of numbering, which can be sorted by X, Y, or Order.

To generate Text Numbering:

1. Enable Text Numbering from menu
2. Select multiple Text entities with Shift Key
3. Choose the desired sorting and placement order from the Inspector Bar or Local Menu
4. Select Finish. Text is Auto-numbered
