I want labels that read numbers 1 thru 20.
What is the quickest way to accomplish this?
I can do configurations, but I have to create a different extruded cut for each number.
This takes a long time and leads me to believe there must be a bettter way.
I created a Design Table, but it only allows me to edit the depth of the cut extrude. The number doesn't show up.
I want to edit the number.
I created a cut extrude for each number 1 thru 20 and had to change font and font size for every number (it defaulted to a font I didn't want.
Design Tables is lesson 11 in my book and I followed it to the letter.
I must be missing something, because this minor task seems way too involved.
What version of SW are you using? SW2010 introduced the capability to link sketch text to a custom property which can then be controlled by a design table. Please see

Josh suggested what I was going to suggest. Link the text in the sketch to a custom proeprty and like I said in
my first posting place the custom proeprty in the design table.
This method should eliminate you having to create a feature for every number.
Carl,
I would create the configurations, but drive them through a design table.
As far as the numbers I would create a custom property and have the values
driven in the design table as well.
