Object's description in a text label
-
Let's say I create 3 groups and assign a unique instance name to each ie. A, B and C. And then I create a parent group from those 3 groups and assign it an instance name of D. Now I attach a text label to the parent group - but instead of seeing "D" in the text, I see whatever sub-group the text leader is attached to. Would it not be more logical to see "D"?
-
Name the outer group instance then add text label to get the parent name. Afterwards name the children groups.

Nice example Rich.

Dave - I'm talking strictly SU - not LO.
Rich - can you publish your SU file please? -
I didn't save but it takes a few secs to do it.
It's the order of operation that's important. Groups your unnamed groups in a group named D then name the children a, b, c

Another interesting one Dave.

Rich - thank you for re-creating and posting your file. However, it gives me the same result that I am trying to resolve. I want to drag a text label off any of the groups within the parent and that text label must display the name of the parent, not the name of the group within the parent from which the text label is anchored to. I suppose the only solution is to have an unobtrusive unnamed object, such as a guide point, within the parent to attach my text label to.
