     After selecting Layout >Label >Refdes you need to select, with the left mouse button, a location for the text in the editing canvas. In your picture there is the statement in the Allegro command window to "pick text location". Did you select a location for the text and then type the text you want for the refdes at the command window followed by "Enter"?

    Edit >> Once you select a location for the text the Options tab will be populated with options such as which class/subclass youwant to attach the text to, mirror, rotation, justification, and textblock you want to use.
