Update Layout chooses wrong file to sync

Why is Capture using a wrong file to sync to OrCAD PCB layout? It is time consuming to change the name.

    Under 'Layout' in left pane, there is one .brd associated with the design. If you directly click right mouse button on .brd and select 'Update Layout', it will also open the same dialog and could save you some time.

    Also, if you have opened 'Update Layout' from main menu 'PCB > Update Layout' and it is showing you the .mdd file at first glimpse then you can click on drop down button and select the associated .brd. You would not need to browse for .brd.

    Hope it helps!

    So I need to do it every time? Why does it not just initially have the .brd file to sync?
