Auto Label Extended to other Objects as well as Zones

It would be great if the auto label functionality available with Zones could be extended to include other elements, particularly objects so as an object is placed an associative label can automatically be placed with it.

You can use the Label Selected Elements function Document>Annotation>Label Selected Elements. It will just use the your current label tool settings.  The recommended workflow is place one label on your object and configure it how you like, then eyedropper that label, select all the elements you wish to label (find and select can be a god send here) then use the Label Selected Elements tool.

Yes, I use that all the time for labelling windows and doors on elevations. I am particularly looking to label objects as they are placed but I cold select them all and add the labels in one go but I would ideally like to double check the content as each one is placed.
