Refresh a Model

General

  • When an assembly model is read to the Vertex workspace, normally all changed parts and subassemblies have been updated to the model.
  • While working, you can edit and save parts or subassemblies in their own windows. They must be updated to the assembly separately.
  • You can find out if an assembly needs to be updated by pressing the F5 key, which searches for assemblies and parts that need to be updated, and marks them in the feature tree.
    • You can change the function's settings yourself.
  • The assembly update reviews the assembly constraints and solves them once.
  • The update calculates new limits for the model so that all parts are visible.
  • The update calculates new limits for the drawing so that all elements are visible.
  • In the sketch mode, F5 will update the geometric constraints, and redraw the lines. At the same time is checked that the constraints determined for the elements in the sketch are met. In addition, new boundaries will be calculated for the sketch so that all the elements in the sketch are drawn in the sketching window.

Update the changed parts and subassemblies in the assembly

  1. Start the update need review
    • Select View | View Refresh or
    • Press the F5 key.
  2. Select a target to be updated.
  • You can update all parts and subassemblies that have been changed by using the context-sensitive function Update All.
  • Select a part or branch of the assembly from the feature tree and update only it with the context-sensitive function Update.
Note:
  • If you refresh a part in the subassembly, all the other parts in the subassembly are refreshed as well.
  • To update only a single subassembly branch, follow these steps:
    • Open the subassembly or edit it, and update that specific part / assembly in it's own working window.
