unable to rename DC Motors in Schematic Editor

I am unable to rename the DC Motors in the Schematic Editor. I can rename all other kinds of things (motor controllers, servos, sensors, etc...)

It used to work to rename them in LVLM 2010.

Seeing as the 'generate code' function is having problems, and vi's are having troubles 'linking' at times (ie. showing 'greyed out' constants for the DC Motor blocks). Could there be a connection?

Can anyone 'rename' them, and then perhaps they're not having these other problems? I would love some feedback from other users.

Thanks.

press shift+enter after rename.

Jerry:

Thank you, that worked!

I have never had to do that shift+enter before when renaming things. Should I always do that anyway?

I'm looking forward to testing that approach to see if it resolves any other problems I've been having.

Thanks again!

UPDATE: Well, it ddn't help the 'generate code' problems. However, the renaming is working and showing up in the 'constant' list after I 'generate code', then 'ctl-e, ctl-s, ctl-w;, re-edit and re-reference all motors...etc...

It's a hassle we can deal with, but it sure does make it hard to let the noobies play around to learn like we're used to doing. .  I still hold out hope that when I install from the disc some things will improve. (In the meantime, I'm still having the noobs play with the 2010 version.)
