Default for Auto Naming / Counting needed

[Michel777]

There is no entry for Auto Naming / Numbering.  Is there a exmaple for all values ?

You can use (almost?) any chars. The one sequence of digits will be replaced with the serial. E.g. "Abc 123" will create the next element with "Abc 124". I have no idea what happens after 999 but likely you'll get "Abc 000". I also haven't tried multiple digit sequences (e.g. "Abc 123 def 000"). I guess that this will expand to "Abc 123 def 001", but I'm not sure.

Thanks a lot. Waht I need is default values, to avoid typing for each item.

Does that mean your question is answered or do I miss what you mean by "default"?

I'm a bit puzzled too. The default name/numbering is the element type plus 1. So, if you create the first Actor element in your model, it is automatically called Actor1 until you manually change the name. The next would be Actor2, Actor3 and so on.

If you want something different to appear automatically, you set it up with autonaming/numbering, and thereafter - as querty says - the new elements are automatically named and numbered with your naming convention, and with the numbers incrementing by 1 for each new element of the type.

Can you provide an example of what you want to achieve?
