Label

This command allows you to change the label of one or more selected objects. If a single object is selected, choosing the command opens the Properties dialog box for that object and displays the Label panel, where you can type a new label. If more than one object is selected, choosing the command displays the Label Multiple Objects dialog box.

If an object in your sketch already has the desired first label, select that object first, and then select the other objects to be relabeled. When you choose the Label command you won’t have to type anything into the dialog.

In the Label Multiple Objects dialog box, type the label you want to assign to the first of the selected objects. Sketchpad will create a sequence of labels to use for the remaining selected objects.

If some of the selected objects aren’t already showing their labels, you can check or uncheck the Show Labels for All Selected Objects checkbox to determine whether or not the labels will be shown when you dismiss the dialog.

Here are some examples of the labels Sketchpad will create, depending on what you type as the first label:
