Sequencing a linear text annotation

Hi,

I have recently found myself quite disapointed in what I would think should have been introduced to "Linear Note Pattern".

Could anybody tell me if it is possible to pattern a number with a circular border in numerical order as apposed to patterning the annotation and labouriously editing each individual note.

Help will be greatly appreciated.

I have some drawings of the full vessel with up to 42 Datums to label and it's quite time consuming.

Thanks Gents
