Table and Figure Autonumbering

Question

I am currently using FrameMaker 8.0 and having a problem with the autonumbering of my tables and figures.
Is there a way to have these as seperate numbering but still referencing the Chapter number?
E.g. CHAPTER 1
Table 1.1
Figure 1.1
Figure 1.2
Table 1.2
CHAPTER 2
Figure 2.1
Table 2.1
Figure 2.2
Table 2.2
Thanks in advanced!

Skye,
If your chapters are separate files, then you should be using the
$chapnum variable and control that at the book level.
If all of your chapters are in a single file, then you have to define
your autonumber sequences to use the matrix method and have the
chapter number paratag reset the sub-ordinate paratag autonumbers.
This is explained in the "Using multiple counters in an autonumber
format" section of the Help file.
The first method is the easiest to use and maintain.
