Consistency of Figure references?

[andjorhanson]

A quick question, I think too technical to ask my editor:
As I read through the manuscript, I notice that I am consistent
with equations, always using the macro \Eqn{name.eq} inline,
and Equation \ref{name.eq} at the beginning of a sentence.

However Figures do not fare so well, and about half the chapters
use a similar macro \Fig{name.fig}, and half written out "Figure \ref{name.fig}"
making it much more work for the formatting team to change the convention
simply by changing the macro.

Should I go through now and change all the "Figure ..." to "\FIg{}"?

\newcommand{\Eqn}[1]{Eq.(\ref{#1})}
\newcommand{\Fig}[1]{Fig.(\ref{#1})}
%% \newcommand{\Eqns}[1]{Eqs.~(\ref{##})} -- doesn't work, do multiples by hand.

Please make the output consistent, either "Figure X" or "Fig. X". It doesn't matter much if it is a macro or plain text in the source.
(Consistency in the source files would be fine too.)
