Modified objects don't update...

Save a new version of a previously saved .gsm object replacing that object by using the same name, shouldn't all instances of that object update themselves automatically? Seems like they used to, but not with v8.1, or is there something that can be done to make it work?

Are you using PLA library or standard folder based one? If it is PLA, it is not automatically updating, you have to re-save the PLA. If the standard folder, it should.

These are objects I have made with slabs, etc. Noticed that if you select the object in elevation, open its settings window, then click ok it will update.
