How can I change the dot into a dash in figure, table, and equation numbers? So instead of "Figure 3.2" I would like "Figure 3–2".

Thanks

If you yet do not present a minimal example, tell us at least the used document class.

Hi Joklu,

welcome to the board!

In a standard class, such as book or report, this redefinition works:

\renewcommand*{\thefigure}{\thechapter-\arabic{section}}
