Topic: %autonum

I'm struggling to find what variables are available for use with the text formula within the multiline conductor properties. I've just started playing with this software yesterday, so I apologize if this is a silly question. I'm mostly trying to get the software setup in a fashion that is more similar to what I'm used to seeing with JIC symbols and ladder diagram type schematics.

Maybe I need to just get used to it, but I don't particularly like the layout of the auto numbering. It is nice that you can save formulas within different element types, but building the formula with fewer variables options than the variable formula was a bit of a bummer. I also felt the properties window was a more enjoyable way to work than with the auto numbering selection lists.

Anyhow, what I was hopeful to get working was to get the text formula working for conductors.

C%f-%autonum was what I was going to try out initially, but the only variable that works is %f.

TLDR
1) How do I get %autonum to work?
2) What other variables are available within the conductor text formula?

I've figured out my own issue. I've replaced %autonum with %seqh_1 and have gotten the formula to function the way I was hoping to. I can play with some of the other variables to guess and test what might work, but I think with just the number sequence I might be able to get it working.

I'd also like to thank the folks that made this software - I'm very impressed with it in the little time I've used it. I occasionally autocad EL at my job, but this has been much more intuitive and easily adjustable. I think after playing for a little while I'll get most everything figured out.
