Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ Table referencing problems

[zigga150]

Hey guys, I am using a latex template for my thesis. I have my tables and figures in appendix (which is denoted as chapter 6 of the thesis).

The problem is that when I reference the tables I am getting something like: (see Table 6) for all the tables I reference. Where I should be getting (see table 6.1), (see table 6.2).

Any ideas on how I can get an extra digit on my table references.

Thanks in advance

A minimal working example (MWE) could have been helpful. Otherwise this could dwindle into a quiz. If not done yet, place labels behind captions in the source code.

Code: Select all

\begin{figure}[!ht]
  \centering
  \rule{6.4cm}{3.6cm}
  \caption{Dummy figure}\label{fig:dummy}
\end{figure}

Best regards

Hi Dan,

if you didn't use \caption like Thorsten did, the reference could point to the chapter number, here 6. Otherwise you could check if you've redefined the macro \thetable incorrectly, it could be redefined like

Code: Select all

\renewcommand\thetable{\thechapter.\arabic{table}}

forgetting \arabic{table} could cause it too, but I guess there could just \caption be missing or misplaced.

Yep my labels and captions were around the wrong way. Thanks for the very prompt reply!
