Cloning in 3d Studio max

ScubaSteve

I am cloning bolts out and the clone base number is coming out 002. I would like to change it to come out as 02. Is there a way to change this in max and not go into the INI file?

also trying to get around the extra step of going through the rename tool.

Yea, they changed that in 2011, it's annoying.

There were a few tweaks to the 3dsmax.ini file that you can make, but they only effect new objects not cloned objects.
