      For the past few months, when creating a component,the shape in the drawing does not act like a component, ie no bounding box created. There is,however, a new component added to the component list. When I add that to the drawing it acts like a component did earlier and the original shape is still in the drawing as loose geometry.. Also, if I make the shape a group before creating a component, it is added to the component list and acts like a component always did.
      Is there some control I've turned off by mistake that I'm unaware of?
      Thanks,
      Ed M.

        The behavior you describe is exactly what you'd get if you have unticked the box for Replace selection with component, not a bug. Tick the box before hitting Create and there should be a component where there had been loose geometry.

          Dave,
          Thanks for the quick response. I thought it might be something simple. BTW thanks for all the great videos also.
