Creating multible files at once

Hi there

I'm about to create some gift tags for 3D printing. I need 24 different tags and the only difference is an asenting number 1-24 on the model.
Do I have to make all 24 files separately, or can I do it smarter?

Thanks!

    @morten_juul_nielsen, You can use variable option to create first part. After that you have to make duplicate if you want to use in a same document or copy to clipboard option and paste tab in another document. You can get all your requirement by putting value in variable. Kindly refer below video for more detail.
    I hope this will be helpful to you. If you want something different then feel free to write.

    Hi.  I believe the poster is looking for variable text on the label not variable dimensions.  I have an improvement request for a string variable but I don't believe this is possible yet.

    @dave_cowden has a nice text featurescript that is much easier to use than the inbuilt text offering.  That will at least get the text into an input box on a feature rather than sketch entities.
