Sketchpad’s text-alignment shortcut allows you to line up selected text objects so that their left sides are aligned and they are spaced evenly beneath the first selected object.

Sketchpad's Merge Text command gives you the ability to combine various captions, measurements, and labels into a single caption. Two advanced applications of Merge Text offer much more precise control over the formatting and layout of merged pieces of text, and allow you to control the location and appearance of merged text in your sketch.

Sketchpad also allows you to modify the behavior of the Label Multiple Objects dialog box by creating your own custom sequences.
