      I created four DCs and then put them all in an enclosing DC. I then copied one of the internal DCs, made it unique, modified it, and put it also into the enclosing DC.

      Under Component Attributes, I now have two DCs with the same name; under Entity Information, the two have different Definition Names. Under Entity Information, the two DCs have the same Name.

      Is there any way to rename one of two DCs that currently have the same name? This is causing all sorts of havoc!

        A DC Component may have three different names.

        Definition-name
        Instance-name [optional]
        DC-name

        You can edit these using the Component Browser, Entity Info and DC Editor respectively...

        You might also need to do this to nested DC parts too?

        Note how a Group that is part of a DC is similar, but its Definition-name remains pretty well hidden and inaccessible, except via the API, but then only its Group-name [a Group is an Instance of a special kind of Definition] is relevant anyway...
