Automatic Dimension Update in Drawings
Automatic Dimension Update in Drawings
(OP)
Okay, I know it is here somewhere, but I am unable to find the command to keep the link between the part file and the dft file. When I update my part, the drawing keeps the old dimensions and profile. How do I get it to automatically update?

A thin grey line around the view shows it needs updating.
Thicker corners indicate the model should be opened (usually an assembly) and updated (re-built in SW speak)
Go to Tools > Drawing view tracker to see which models have changed.
Another useful feature to have turned on is 'Track Dimension Changes'.
Go to Tools > Dimensions > Track Dimension Changes > then on the Options tab make sure the Track Changes is ticked.
When you update your drawing all dimensions that have changed will be listed and marked and you can zoom to each to check or re-attach it.
