Text Attribute Links UpdateWhenever the attributes linked with the texts or tables are modified, their attribute links need to be updated. Consequently, you need to update the drafting views which take into account the status of these texts. If a text attribute link is included in a view or a sheet, then, any change in it has an impact on the following objects: SheetsSheets are shown as not up-to-date in any one of the following conditions:
In this case, the update status of the text is displayed on the sheet objects in the specification tree. Interactive Drafting ViewsInteractive drafting views are shown as not up-to-date if they contain at least one not up-to-date text. In this case, the update status of the text is displayed on the view objects in the specification tree. Generative Drafting ViewsGenerative drafting views are shown as not up-to-date in any one of the following conditions:
Generative drafting views manage the update status to detect a change in the 3D data represented in the view. In this case, the status of the text is displayed on the view object in the specification tree. Note: The view will not show whether it is not up-to-date because of a text or because of the generative drafting specifications. DrawingsDrawings are shown as not up-to-date if they contain at least one not up-to-date sheet. The following figure depicts this scenario: Notes:
Load 3D DataThe Load 3D Data command loads the products and representations in the authoring session which are necessary to display the update status and update the not up-to-date objects. It also loads the products and representations the texts are linked to. The Load 3D Data command:
Open 3D DataThe Open 3D Data command loads the products and representations in the memory and also opens an editor on these products and representations. It also opens the products and representations the texts are linked to. When using the Open 3D Data command, the editor will be opened depending on the following two cases:
