Hi,
When I cross-reference figures in my thesis, the reference picks up the section numbers rather than the figure number. My figures are numbered automatically according to chapter numbers which is how I want them.
I have tried a number of things including putting the label before or after the caption, but cannot figure it out, and would appreciate some help ASPA.
Thanks,

Re: Problem with cross-referencing figures
I have figured it out. In case this has not been mentioned before:
Place the label, inside the caption box, after whatever your caption text is. I was placing the label, outside the caption box.

The important thing is that
\label is called after \caption and not before. Placing it inside the caption indeed ensures this.Regards
