I can't rename views in project browser

Anonymous — Mon, 13 Jul 2020 12:07:45 GMT

I can't rename views in project browser

Up until Revit 2020 was easy, just clicked on the view and rename it directly or choosing rename

But now in Revit 2021 it is imposible. I don't have either options

Could someone explain to me what do I have to do?

Thanks

Hi @Anonymous! Is this problem found on only one computer? I have not such problem. Try reinstalling Revit...

when you select the View, can you edit it in the Properties pallet under View Name ?

When I go to the rename option the view just keeps blue but I can't write anything.

I can duplicate, or whatever but no rename. Weird

Reinstalling Revit ? Shame

can you upload your model so we can take a look at it? lets see if we have the same issue. could be a file issue, could be a PC issue.

Well , it is something weird. Never happened since Version 6

The only way of renaming any view is through Sheets

When I place an image in sheet I can rename it with (in) the viewport (title)

Well, I will be waiting if someone knows something new about it

Thanks

It might be a long wait unless you share the model as suggested.

Do you guys have RENAME in the Right-Click Menu? Is this just about the single-left-click, direct Renaming not working?

Thank you @RobDraw @barthbradley @ToanDN @Fakerobert @hmunsell but it is not one project

Left click gives the option, gets blue, but I cannot change it

In anything that I open.

When I open a template is happening, or any project

Same everywhere no way to rename any view

Thanks

At least I'm not the only one 😞

Try starting a New Project with a different Template and see if you can rename in that one. Report back results.

Could it be that cursed cursor thing?

Cursed cursor??? You mean like a witches' hex? Try Norton's "Hex Removal" software.

I have tried all templates, clean installation

Well I will have to live with renaming into the sheets situation

apparently is my computer, because for all you guys is working

Well, thanks

Weird that it is the only thing that is not working

Wait, you didn't answer my question.

Does it work if you make sure the cursor is in the box?
