creates local component (virtual component)

[Il Mauri]

Good morning to all
in a set I have the need to insert virtual components (which I don't want to lose time modeling them), it is - for example - of electric cable discs that I create them as a virtual component - example "cable ø5 l=500".
as long as I create a single component everything is fine but if I have the need to have more (obviously with the same name) inventor tells me (justly) that already exists and therefore I must give it a different name - example "cavo ø5 l=500_"
You put me in 10 you know what stress.. .
Is that the only way to get the exact amount in separate?

first possibility: create one and forge the amount in separate.
Second chance: create an ilogic rule that asks you both the component and the quantity and puts them to you.
I found nothing else.
