it can seem a stupid thread... (related to names of sketches/features)
(OP)
my question seems stupid. but my problem lies in the way that SW gives names automatically to the sketches, features...
if i draw a sketch it receives the name "sketch 1" (for example). if i erase it and i draw another sketch it receives the name "sketch 2".
of course i know i can change the name of the sketch, but all my problems appear in the moment that the name "sketch 2" instead of "sketch 1" is given to the sketch.
i guess there isn't any way to change it, but if you have some idea i would be really grateful!

Instead of deleting the sketch, just change the geometry it contains. The sketch name will not be changed.

But CBL is right you can't change the numbers to start over and recount.

Naming features helps other users work on the model. It also helps me jump around more easily. I consider it part of being a good 'CAD citizen'.

If it skips a name as sisau wrote, no big deal.
