It doesn't matter if it is a dynamic component or a regular component.
I attached a picture of the entity info box. The text box labeled "Name" is the area that doesn't retain the info.
I should have mentioned that I'm on a mac running the most recent version of sketchup pro.
When I generate a report that text box is defined as "Entity Name" or as @TIG describes "Instance name"
@TIG and @matt.gordon320
Thanks for the replies. I also emailed the sketchup team with this. They said it is a know issue and the engineers are working on a solution.
Thanks again
When a component is selected you have a few options in the Entity Info window. Layer, Name, Definition, Type and Volume.
If I add text to the "Name" text block and then "Right Click" component "save as" the info is not retained in the DC when it is reloaded from the Component Browser. This is only true on Parent Components. Child Components will retain this info. Anyone know why this is?
