Location Box Description does not update after Edit Location Box changes LOC

Location Box Description does not update after Edit Location Box changes LOC

This has bothered me for years...so...under the heading of being "nit-picky", can we get this fixed?  After we insert a saved circuit with a Location Box, it might be necessary to change the LOC code.  So we right-click on the Location Box, we select Edit Location Box, and we change the LOC code.  The code changes for the components inside of the LOC Box but the description of the Location Box doesn't update.  It has to be updated using AutoCAD's Text Editor.  This needs to be corrected.

Location boxes tend to break when copying them, you can sometimes make one work again by selecting the text and the locbox rectangle, and right click -> group -> group. The text and the rectangle object lose the grouping sometimes.

 

But yes, this should be fixed anyways.

 

Also its silly that you cannot write values to locbox-objects from excel export/import tool.

2023 and still not fixed. But still annoying and time consuming.

You have to be a little more patient @Cole64  😅

It's only been 5.5 years since it was reported.
