hi
I am trying to create an airport overlay so I can have heliopads. I was working through the AFCAD manual section on overlays. I got to step 5

Step 5 – Import the renamed overlay airport:

In AFCAD, import the 2LAX file you just changed. AFCAD will say that it is a new airport and ask if you want to add it to the city of Los Angeles, to which you should respond OK.

You now have two overlaid airports in the same facility bgl file (usswaf04.bgl in this case).

however in my case I do not get the prompt that says it is a new airport, instead I get nothing. How will know if it is acting as an overlay?

When I try to save the AFCAD file, I am asked if I want to replace the existing airport with teh imported airport.

Since I was not given the option to add the airport, what did I do wrong. I did change the ICAO_ID( 2LAX )
and NameEntry( AIRPORT 2 "Los Angeles Intl" )

what am i missing?
