Update Attributes
General
- This function is used to update, for example, the attribute databases of old drawings to be similar to the attribute databases found in the system.
- Automatic update is done when opening a model or a drawing from the archives, when a part or a subassembly is opened for editing in an assembly, or when opening a drawing of a model.
- When a group is added to a drawing, only the attributes of the added group are updated.
- Attribute data is, for example, data attached to a drawing line, text (part number), hatch, for example material data attached to a part number.
- Attribute data is stored in the program's internal attribute databases. The attribute databases are managed in the same way as other databases, with database views.
- The contents of the attribute databases of a drawing can only be viewed when the drawing is active in the drawing window.
