What is the best way to create buttons with an incrementing sequence?

• A. Duplicate a button and rename it incrementally.
• B. Use a prebuilt Sequence Tool from the library.
• C. Create a tool then turn it into a Sequence Tool.
• D. Create a text field and apply a numeric increment.

Answer: (C)

The idea here is to automate labeling as you place multiple items. By first creating the button as you want it to look and behave, and then turning that tool into a Sequence Tool, you enable Bluebeam to assign an incrementing number to each new instance you place. This means every button you add will automatically get the next number in the sequence, keeping the labels consistent and reducing manual work. Using this approach avoids the tedium and potential errors of duplicating a button and renaming each copy, and it’s more flexible than searching for a prebuilt sequence tool in the library that may not match your exact button design. Creating a text field with a numeric increment isn’t ideal for a button tool, since it treats the incremented value as editable text rather than a designed, clickable button with consistent styling.
