Numbering figures' problem
Hello everybody I have a problem with lyx. when i draw a numbered figure or table, lyx works and gives it a correct number. the same for the next figure/table. But when i view the lyx file as PDF file and take a look to the figure and table's numbers i notice that all the figures and tables, of a same section or subsection, get the same number. I mean that when i write in lyx chapter 4-section 3(for example) and put 2 tables or figures that are numbered in lyx automatically as table or figure 6 and table or figure 7, then when i update the PDF, i notice that the 2 tables or figures get the same number like table 4.3 and not table 4.3.1 and table 4.3.2 or whatever is the correct number. i cannot understand the reason. can anyone help me?? it is very important. i am using lyx for my Thesis. i tried to save and close my lyx document. Then to open it again and click View PDF (pdflatex) to get whole document compiled again but it doesn't work..it doesn't change anything. i am using lyx 1.6.5 on windows vista sp 2, miktex 2.7, and Book (AMS) as document class Thanks in advance

I assume that your document class is a book class. In books figures and tables are numbered in the scheme chapter.number Within LyX the numbering might be different because every document class can define its own numbering scheme. I haven't understood what exactly is the problem. Do you want the numbering scheme chapter.section.number or a numbering without the chapter number? Can you provide a -small_ LyX example file? regards Uwe

Each figure in chapter one comes out as figure 1.1, each figure in chapter 2 comes out as figure 2.1. so i can't distinguish them by number. Then you have a wrong setting in your document preamble or something similar. I'll have a look if you provide a LyX testfile. regards Uwe

That's the bug. You redefined the table number to be the number of the subsection. So you overwrite
the number by
chapter.subsection
and this number is independent of the table number.
Independent of this, you should better use the command \numberwithin to change the numbering. See
sec. 3.3 Float Numbering of the EmbeddedObjects manual that you find in the Help menu of LyX.
\usepackage{graphicx}
This settings is unnecessary because LyX already takes care of this.

You also need to remove the other lines where you redefine the counters, like
for figures.
When you don't like the numbering scheme of the AMS book class, use the \numberwithin command to
change it as I wrote.
