placing "name" attribute on pcb, and adding offset for component names in modules

Hey,

after a lot of work i finished my first big project with fuison 360 electronics.
Just one step remains. (re)placing all the names for my components. i delete these while doing the routing and layout.
mainly because when using modules in a schematic, the module name is used as a prefix for the component name. 
I came across a forum post from eagle, where it was possible to select an "offset" option for the components name. 
and it would reduce the name from "PSU_MAIN:R1" to something like "R101". 
is this option also available in fusion? if have some really long module names sometimes.

also the only way i can add component names on the pcb is with the "autoposition attribute" command.
but this only works when i select the restore defaults option. when i only want to place the name, this does not work.

Any help or tips would appreciated. 
Thanks
