partName not updated when a cell is copied

Clidre

Hello,

I have a problem when I copy a cell in Virtuoso. Let's say I copy cellA and I name the new cell cellB. In the copy cell form I also check Update Instances of Entire Library. However, if I place in my schematic a symbol of the new cellB, it appears as cellA !

By pressing Q, I see the following properties:

Cell Name: cellB

partName: cellA  (master value)

I cannot find a way to update the master value of partName, moreover I would like to update the master value automatically when I make a copy.

I didn't have this problem a few months ago, so maybe  this feature can be set.

Hope that you can help me, because copying cells has become very time consuming for me.

Thanks a lot!

    Thanks everybody. However I'm using a recent release: virtuoso version 6.1.6-64b 08/12/2015  sub-version  IC6.1.6-64b.500.13

    But I have this problem: the part name is the old one 

    I didn't have that a few months ago, so I don't know if there's a set of commands I can run in my local work directory to avoid this problem. Could you please help me? 

    Thanks
