Ben3B Posted March 28, 2022 Author Share Posted March 28, 2022 Where are the parameters for autonumbering device ? When I put it with  the Device tool in Symbol Insertion mode, if my device is called for example he40 , the second one is He41 I'd like for example he40_1 I know I can renumber it, or I can save device with an underscore at the end of the name, but may be there is a parameter as for renumbering . 🙂  Thanks !

If you have a device already selected, its name will be used and incremented to set the new device name. There are no settings for this, so currently there is no way to customize the way incrementing works. 1 Quote Link to comment
