Figure to Fig in both Caption and Autoref

Question

I need to change the caption Figure to Fig. for a journal. I am currently using:

\usepackage[font=small,labelsep=period]{caption} and

%Caption display style
\captionsetup{figurename=Fig.,tablename=Table}

to rename the caption. The \autoref however, is still showing a Figure 1 instead of Fig. 1. Can someone tell me the alternative to the code \addto\extrasngerman{\renewcommand\figureautorefname{Abb.}} used in here, applicable for Caption package.

Answer 1

Try this \renewcommand*{\figureautorefname}{Fig.}
