elevation callout Drawing Identifier links do not update when edited

GRIFFITH

I have placed many interior elevation callouts in a plan view, then created drawing models in a new file, which were then linked by dragging into a sheet model in the same file.  The callouts report properly at first, using the numbers assigned by AECO.

However, when I edit the Identifier (in properties) to conform with our system, ("2" becomes, say, "24.1 N")  callouts do not update.  I think they have in the past, but not now.  I have tried the update tags icon in Annotations, and I have tried the Update Automatic Annotations in Drawing Compostion, to no effect.

Advice?

    The previous was regarding what Eric calls the Detail Number. 
     
    I don’t think you can change the title from the Model Name.  We tried this, even from the Properties dialog, and it causes all sorts of trouble.
    Best to start out with the correct Model Name.

    When I place the Title - the bubble and name are great.  The number starts with 1 and continues as I go on this sheet and the title is the model name.

    However when I select the title and change the name it does not reflect in the Model nor any other instances of the placement of that item

    Same for the Detail Number.  If I change 1 to a D1 it does not change the property somewhere to D1.

    The Scale if Great and the Sheet Number is Fine.

    Can't unless I know everything and just drafting.
    i may place sections/details as I go and then clean up titles
    And I want the TOC and Index (if I can do one) to match the actual title

    I would actually look at it more holistically - a system will only perform as well as it's weakest link. The CPU, RAM, Graphics subsystem and hard disk are all (or at least can be) factors. A smoking fast CPU with insufficient RAM will allocate memory to disk, slowing performance. A barely adequate graphics card/driver can slow on-screen performance even if RAM isn't a bottle-neck. And so on and so on.... I would gauge the combined input of our forum members as a reasonable benchmark of which system specifics are performing well.

    Correct but futher.
    The current bottleneck for all this is the use of RAM
    Then probably HD as our data is no longer very small files
    Then the CPU that can be No 1 when processing stuff like sections, extractions and plots.

    They are all important but 64 bit that would harness multiple CPUs would give the biggest boost for current and future Hardware as I run Mstation on High end Xeon and then on an I7 machine I purchased 5-6 years ago. My I7 is still equals the XEON in most cases but any variation in speed is small. And that is on a 5 year or older machine. I've an I7 with 8 cores and 6 are idle.

    New CPU's are not getting faster in speed but in strength with more solid processors and little growth in speed.
