How to I get my drawing to regenerate and show the changes made to my part.

How to I get my drawing to regenerate and show the changes made to my part.

How to I get my drawing to regenerate and show the changes made to my part.

(OP)
I'm a rookie, I made my part and created a new drawing and have all the views in place. I did view display, sheet and it took me to the part and I then clicked start and modeling and have made a change to the model. How do I go back to the drawing and have my changes show?

RE: How to I get my drawing to regenerate and show the changes made to my part.

Go back to Start -> Drafting and after the Drawing is displayed there's an icon labeled 'Update Views' which will open a dialog showing which views are out-of-date. When you hit OK or the Apply button, it will force the views to update.

To an Engineer, the glass is twice as big as it needs to be.

You can also switch off Preferences Drafting / View / Delay View Update.

The drawing will update just after Start Drafting, but be carefull in case of big assembly

Which is exactly why the out-of-the-box default is set to 'Delay View Update'.

Which is exactly why a new user would not know to update the drawing manually.

It's a computer, doesn't it do it automagically..?

To the Toolmaker, your nice little cartoon drawing of your glass looks cool, but your solid model sucks. Do you want me to fix it, or are you going to take all week to get it back to me so I can get some work done?

And then he would complain about the performance hit everytime he opened a Drawing...

I'm glad you mentioned there is a price to pay in performance, if all is to be done automagically. Doesn't say that in the shiny brochure.

Sounds like whining when it comes from a user, you'all must think.
