It happens quite regularly that I create something like a set of Simplified Representations, for illustrations of assembly steps in various documentation.
They are then named Rep0001, Rep0002, Rep0003 and so on.
And then I often figure that I would like to make intermediate steps somewhere, so I have to renumber ALL the following steps, starting from the bottom so as not to try to make Rep0004 into Rep0005 when that already exists.
Since it is unlikely that I will ever make 9999 SimpReps in the same assembly, I feel that all those numerals would have been better assigned if the numbering was Rep0010, Rep0020, Rep0030 and so on.
That would allow me to slip in a Rep0015 or Rep0025 without having to renumber a dozen following steps.
While we are at it, please consider how other lists follow the same pattern. Family table instances are named like
ABC
ABC_INST
ABC_INST1
ABC_INST2
I would much prefer
ABC
ABC_INST010
ABC_INST020
ABC_INST030
So that I can add rows later (ABC_INST022 + ABC_INST024) without mucking up the order they present themselves upon insertion in an assembly.
There are probably more such enumeration situations that would benefit from the same idea.
