Different Component Name in Assembly
Different Component Name in Assembly
(OP)
Maybe this is a silly question but I came across with this annoyance many times.
After an component replace some times it keeps previous component file name. I uploaded some screenshots were in the tooltip displays the previous component name, while the component is replaced with another.

Preferences -> Assemblies...
...and check the option set for 'Descriptive Part Name Style'. If it's not set to 'File Name' change it so that it is and see if that helps.

RE: Different Component Name in Assembly
It is set to 'File Name'. I figured out what I was doing wrong. When in 'replace component' dialog, I used to have 'maintain' name option instead of 'original', so it kept the previous component's name.
I think this is it.
Thank you again.
