Unable To Name Group
-
For some unknown reason when creating a group the option of giving it a name does not present itself. I have tried the following:
Selected the Group
Window > Preferences > Shortcuts
Filter: Group
Selected: Edit/Item/Edit Group
Clicked in Add Shortcut
Pressed: Shift-E
Pressed [ + ] button
Clicked OK- Using the Reset All option.
-
Make component brings a dialog for naming but not make group.
Right click the group and select entity info and name it there. -
As Box says, you're seeing normal behavior.
You could just make components and name them immediately.
-
I usually keep Entity Info Panel hanging on the right side of the main window.
When I need to name groups, I just type in there, easy... unless you work on a laptop, then you have a real estate problem.
