On the same topic, it has been requested of me that the Figure and Table numbers in my document be preceded by the section number. (Figure #1 in section 3.3 is Figure 3.3-1: xxx, Fig #2 of that section is Figure 3.3-2: xxx, and so on, where xxx is the Figure title). I have incorporated the word "Figure" and formatted the figure title text; I just require assistance with the autonumbering.

I am a department of one, so while not only responsible for writing, am also responsible for my own EDDs/templates and am learning on the fly. My EDD has the following section numbering series (which may not be conducive to what I want to accomplish):

Count ancestors named:	Section
If level is: 1
     Context label: Heading1
     Numbering properties
        Autonumber format: S:<n+>.<n=0>\t
Else, if level is: 2
     Context label: Heading2
     Numbering properties
        Autonumber format: S:<n>.<n+>\t
Else, if level is: 3
     Context label: Heading3
     Numbering properties
        Autonumber format: S:<n>.<n>.<n+>\t

Is there a way to either:
1) use the current section autonumbering to set up the Figure numbering system requested, or
2) create a new element that addresses the Figure and Table autonumbering to incorporate the section numbers?

If the EDD will require a complete overhaul, I don't have time right now, and have no qualms about letting the "powers that be" know that it is too complex/time consuming with the current set-up that I have. But any guidance would be much appreciated.
