Numbering of custom objects from user library

Hello, I have a question about user library.

By default, an instance of built-in modeling objects are named 'object type + number' when it is created. For instance, the 3 processors in the Figure below are named Processor1, Processor2 and Processor3, respectively.

In constrast, Jig45, Jig46 and Jig47 are instances of custom objects contained in an user library. They are the first 3 instances of a custom modeling object called Jig. Thus, I hope them to be named Jig1, Jig2 and Jig3, but the object number starts from an arbitary number, 45, instead of 1.

Can I make the object number of custom modeling objects to start from 1?

You will find that earlier versions remember any previous numbering or base it on the rank of the object (or something else), so either number them yourself or use a later version of FlexSim - 22.0 or higher, where, should you rename the object in the user library as 'Jig' then it will number the copies as an independent sequence when you drag/drop them into the model.
