Manually update expressions

Manually update expressions

Manually update expressions

(OP)
Hi, is it somehow possible to force expressions update or re-evaluate the formulas in the expressions. I'm having problem in one drawing where some of the expressions stopped to update whenever the related expressions were changed. Please see the attached file! The expression "Cx_5_R1" wont update if related expression "Width_R1" is changed. But if I just for example add space to the formula then the value gets updated. Of course this is easy fix for one occasion, but in my drawing there is hundreds of expressions and having to manually check if every value updated or not isn't very convenient. And these used to work in the previous drawing from which this particular drawing is just a save as version.
