Updating the Standard of a Drawing

This task shows you how to update the standard used by a drawing, when this standard has been modified by your administrator. When a standard file is modified, there is no automatic update of the drawings which use this standard. Each drawing contains a copy of the standard it uses, and retains this version until you explicitly update this copy or switch the drawing to another standard.

Before you begin: Create a new drawing representation. Make sure you specify the standard that you want to use.
