Reply To: Numbering Figures According to Sections

You will need your section titles to be numbered as well. In the section title paragraph styles create a new list with both numbering boxes checked and assign the level to 1. Then in the Figure names paragraph style choose the same list that the section titles are saved under and assign that list to level 2. Then check the box to restart numbering after any previous level.

If you have numbered subsections then you will need the subsection at level 2 and restart after any previous level. Then the figure names style will be level 3 and restart after 1.

I hope this makes sense.
