Re-numbering entities

Hey,

The entities in my Quartus II schematic get numbered in disorganized patterns quickly, e.g., inst, inst18, inst7, inst34... etc. Is there a simple way to re-number them, left to right, e.g. inst -> inst1, inst18 -> inst2, inst7 -> inst3...?

I'm using Quartus II 10.1 sp1.

Thanks for your help,

Owkmann

    There isn't anyway that I know. I would recommend right-clicking -> Edit Properties on each symbol and giving it an understandable name. In older versions of Quartus(pre 10.0) you could just click on the name and directly edit it.(Large blocks that have obvious names don't need this, but small repeated structures like a dff should.) It's a little bit of work, especially if you haven't done any yet, but well worth the readability once done.
