Renaming model tree features after removing some?

Is there any way to get Creo 2.0 to rename the features? For example as I design I may have Extrude 1, Extrude 2, Offset 1, Solidify 1, Round 1, Round 2, Round 3, etc. But then as I go and do cost reductions I remove and reorder some features so my model tree may look like Extrude 1, Round 11, Solidify 3, Extrude 4, Extrude 2, Revolve 3. Is there any way to get the program to rename each feature so that if Round 11 is the first one in my model tree it will now be Round 1? I tried manually renaming the features but it won't let me use that name, I'd have to come up with something else. It's not a critical issue but it visually annoys me!

It will not rename them for you and you can not use an existing name for obvious reasons. I usually rename most of my features with meaningful names so I can tell what they are or do. Something like "CONNECTOR_BODY" or "SMALL_END_ID". It gets harder with features like rounds as they typically don't have any special function. Foe some reason the built in names can have spaces in them but you can not rename them with spaces, just use underscore or dash.

The Help for this program was created in Windows Help format, which depends on a feature that isn't included in this version of Windows.
