Multiple Occurance - Annotate Nets

Im new to using the hierarchy mode of capture and i am having a problem. I want to use multiple occurrences of a schematic block but I don’t know how to make the nets increment in a nice way. When i export the design (netlist) to pads to do the layout, all nets in those blocks end with "instance_netname"_N1231xxx or something like that. This is making it difficult for the layout person. Ideally i would like to make the instance name be test123_? then make the occurrences automatically become test123_1 test123_2 test123_3 test123_4. Is there a way to do this? Or should i not even try to do it this way and make 4 instances and manually change the net names?

This would be an excellent enhancement - but it's currently not possible.
Capture appends the NET_ID property to the net and this is no controllable by the user.

Take the Sample design "FullAdder.DSN" located in the installation samples directory, there are 2 Blocks with a NET name called "X_BAR" if you create a Netlist you see 2 Nets

X_BAR
X_BAR_318

318 is the NET_ID of the NET in Block_B (You can see this by looking at the NET in the Property Editor) Flat Net TAB.

Thanks.
