Is there any way to add text boxes using actions in Illustrator? I would like to add 6 separate text boxes as the last part of an action I have been working on, but I haven't been able to figure out how to add them. If it is possible, would it also be possible to make it show up with specific text like 'Figure 1'?
<Title renamed by moderator>
here's one way
1. type Figure 1 manually
2. create a symbol from your text manually
3. Start recording your Action
4. press the Place Symbol Instance Button at the bottom of the Symbols Panel (make sure your symbol is selected in the future)
5. press the Break Link to Symbol button at the bottom of the Symbols Panel
6. (optional) move your Text to a different position
7. stop recording
