==With miTools==
There is a miTools utility to assist with this process as it is a regular part of TUFLOW modelling. To do this, select and object from the table that you wish to increment and select the ''Increment Selected Layer'' button from the miTools toolbar (shown below.) This utility performs the following steps:<br>
* Prompts for the name of the new table (if the last digits of the table are a number, e.g. 001, it will default to 002);
* Save a copy of the table with this name;
* Close the existing version;
* Open the new table;
* Add the table to the current Map Window ''Layer Control'' as the top layer; and
* Make this layer editable.

Use the ''File >> Save Copy As...'' dialogue and select the table that you wish to increment. When prompted enter the desired file name and select ''Save''. For example '''2d_code_WG_001''' would be saved as '''2d_code_WG_004''' if it was updated for input into model run 004.<br>
