About Updating Drawing Views
When the source 3D model changes, model documentation drawing views don’t reflect
the changes until they are updated.
When Auto Update is on, (VIEWUPDATEAUTO system variable = 1), drawing views update
automatically:
- when the *.dwg file containing the drawing views is opened.
- when the layout containing the drawing views is made active.
NOTE:Applies to drawing views from model space only.
When Auto Update is off (VIEWUPDATEAUTO system variable = 0), drawing views don’t
update automatically. Drawing views that need updating are highlighted by red markers.
A balloon notification on the system tray pops up to inform you that the model has
changed. Thereafter you must explicitly update the out of date drawing views.

Special situation – Drawing views that grow or shrink during update
Depending on the change in the source model, drawing views may grow or shrink. There
are two ways by which you can anchor a view in the drawing.

You can choose to center justify the view, so that the view grows or shrinks about
its center.

You can also choose the “fixed†option, which forces unchanged model geometry to remain
in the location it was prior to the update operation. Often, this is preferred as
less shift occurs.
Special situation – Annotations that lose associativity during update
When an update event removes an edge an annotation is attached to, the annotation
loses associativity. You can track annotations that lose associativity with the help
of the annotation monitor.
The annotation monitor is a service that monitors the state of health of annotations.
When an update event causes annotations to lose associativity, a balloon notification
indicates the number of affected annotations and the annotation monitor tray icon
changes from to
. Furthermore, the annotation monitor displays a badge near the affected annotations.

Before update event

After update event
Clicking a badge, displays a menu that contains options specific to the corresponding
disassociated annotation. If you turn the annotation monitor off, the badges disappear.
