Renumber tag labels

I have a client that is trying to renumber his labels and when he's gone and deleted all the previous labels and tries to renumber it's saying the number is already in use.  He's even tried renumbering to 1.  I'm not certain on how to fix this issue.

Adam:

 

I am not the one to offer your best "fix", however, if I remember correctly, by removing the VISIBLE  portion of the label it does not completely remove the label.  It seems that there was a method to remove these rascals but I cannot recall.

 

What I used to do was re-number them to a larger number, probably higher than my desired highest number.  Then I could go back and one at a time re-number them like I wanted .(Of course this is before your client removed his.)

Hopefully someone will give you better results.

Thanks...He normally would do that but there are hundreds in his project. I have a feeling you're right in that there's a way to delete them more effieciently.

I've had to renumber a bunch of tag labels in a recent project and I wish there was a way to see all the tag numbers that are used (or a find tag number search).

 

The way I found to quickly replace tags numbers, (after verifying that I am not stomping on tag numbers already used) is to click the first tag and select renumber. Then escape out of the command after successfully renumbering that 1st tag.  Hit the up arrow and enter without a tag selected and then click on the tags in sequence as you want them renumbered.  Even if the command says a tag already exists, you can hit 'C' to create the tag with that number anyway.  

 

Once you get into a rhythm, you can move through the labels fairly rapidly.  I can be mind-numbingly boring. Music help.
