My sections are based on Heading 1. The image attached shows a figure under the third time a Heading 1 appears. So I want the figure tag to increment accordingly. 3-1, 3-2, etc. How do I get the figure tag to recognize the section by Heading 1 (and also reset when the next heading comes along?

IMHO the definition for your figure numbering should be

H:Figure <n>.< >< ><n+>:

Well I spoke too soon.

It seems the Heading 2, 3, 4 affects the Figure numbering.

I also have tables to autonumber but when I have a 3-1 figure, the first table after that gets its cue from the figure and makes the first table to be 3-2. 😞

So I know we are closer.
