Cannot rename a group or feature.

Hey All,

I am stuck, trying to rename some groups in my assembly file but it does not let me. Usually I can just right click, then click rename, or I can slow double click and it will let me rename a group or feature.

I created a datum plane to just test it, and again cannot rename that through those means. But if I edit the plane and use the toolbox where it lets you name it, that works.

So dont really know what is going wrong with the naming feature. I have restarted CREO multiple times and its been the same for a few days now.

Anyone else run into this?

Is it all features that do this or specific to this assembly? IE if you create a new part does this still happen?

 

If it happens for everything I would suspect a graphics card issue.

 

If its specific for that assembly then its possible there is a corruption issue.

 

Can you rename with File-> Prepare -> model properties -> Names?

    It was just in this specific assembly, if I make another random part it can be renamed like normal.

    The file -> prepare -> model properties -> name method did work though! Always seems to be like 3 different ways to do everything, I just did not know about this method.

    Still confusing why the assembly is being weird, but I can rename stuff for now I guess.

    I concur with @KenFarley 's statement. I also save and reboot when these kinds of things happen. For me a common one is not being able to drag the insert here line.
