Frame Generator Naming

Hi, I'm trying to set up the frame generator to start naming things in a convention that we're used to which is essentially naming things <Assembly Name>_Item1, Item2_, ... , Item12, etc... and was wondering if a convention like that is possible with the index number.  From what I've seen the index number setting <Index Number:001:1> would give you an index value from 1 to 999 but item1 would be called item001.  Is it possible to have it only use 1 digit for 1-9, then 2 digits for 10-99, then 3 digits for 100-999?

Can you not just make it like so:

 

<Index Number:1:1>

 

This appears to do what you want:

Thanks, for some reason I thought the 1:1 was indexing value and maximum value.  Oops...

Thanks for the help
