I have a book with twelve chapters. I hope the graphic title number of the first chapter is “Figure 1-01, Figure 1-02”..., the second chapter is “Figure 2-01, Figure 2-02”..., and the third chapter is “Figure 3-01, Figure 3-02”... .I tried “Figure^H-^#^(” But the result is that the graphic numbers of multiple chapters are repeated and start with 1, such as the first chapter is “Figure 1-01”, “Figure 1-02”..., the second chapter is “Figure 1-01”, “Figure 1-02”..., instead of “Figure 2-01”, “Figure 2-02”... .After that, I changed it to “Figure 1-^#^(”, but this time in chapters one to nine, I have a graphic caption numbering style in one chapter, no problem, but after the tenth chapter, I can't continue “Figure 10-01, Figure 10-02”, “Figure 10-03...", because the numbering level is only 9, so the tenth chapter cannot continue. What should I do?How to implement the first chapter Graphic numbering Figure 1-01..., the second chapter Figure 2-1..., the tenth chapter Figure 10-01……

Not quite sure I understand what you are looking for. 

Is this it:

Yes, it is the result I want, but can I achieve such a number without the book function?

I set the symbol number of ^H, why is the number always displayed as 1 without incrementing?

In your current case - you don't need more than 3 levels - unless you have some other lists.

 

You've also mixed Graphic with Title - they need to be in the same "scope":

 

You also NEED to Anchor your images - or rather group of Image and Caption - otherwise, InDesign won't be able to index them properly.

 

 

I've also fixed your 2nd level.

 

Attached is your fixed file.

This book does have many levels of numbering. Here is only to quickly produce sample texts to ask you questions, so some title numbering styles have been deleted.I seem to have some insight into what you said, but I only want one chapter to be realized, such as the first chapter “Figure 1-01, Figure 1-02, Figure 1-03......”, Chapter 2 “Figure 2-01, Figure 2-02, Figure 2-03......”, Chapter 10 “Figure 10-01, Figure 10-02, Figure 10-03......”, There is no need to renumber the graphic caption numbers under each heading.Please also ask, I have set the chapter number of “Figure^H-^H^(” for the number. Why does the number of ^H not be incremented?Where is the problem?
