5.1 Updating drawings when the model changes
Saved drawings need updating because of model changes. Cast-unit, assembly, single part
and multidrawings use position numbers as identifiers. Many changes affect numbering, so
many times the parts need to be renumbered. When such changes have been made, the
drawings cannot be updated before the parts are renumbered. The drawings needing updates
are indicated by flags in the Drawing List. Renumbering model objects after creating
drawings may also generate flags.
•
General arrangement drawings do not need model numbering to be updated.
If you use part position numbers in part marks, you must number the model to
get updated marks, because old and not updated marks have question marks
in them. If you do not use numbering, you can modify general arrangement
drawings without numbering. Then, for example, profile changes are
highlighted with revision clouds.
•
When you update multidrawings, also the linked drawings are updated.
Do the following after changing the model:
