Model not updating

 Pretty new at the CAD thing self teaching etc, but I have made a cultivator (agricultural machinery implement) which is still under development so there are many components and they are constantly changing. The issue I have is if a component is altered or something moved I save the altered component (same file) then go back to the main drawing and press update it doesn't update, the part stays the same but if I add it in another new model space it comes in with the alteration, is there a cache or something that I need to clear? Hope fully it is obvious and someone can help me!!

  • The BmUpdate command seems to broken in V16.2.15.
    If your component is an unchanged or static component you can use the _EXPXREFS command to reload the file.
    Else the only solution I can come up with is saving and reopening the assembly drawing.
  • Oops. Addition:
    If the file cannot be reloaded using the _EXPXREFS command you can reload via the Properties Bar (PB):
    1. Preselect the component.
    2. In the PB click in the 'File' field.
    3. Click on the [...] button that has now become visible.
    4. Select the correct file.
  • The attach LISP includes a couple of functions that automate the reloading of XREFs. Hopefully this will help if you are having to do this a lot. Commands are:
    • XRELOAD to reload all attached xrefs.
    • XRESET to reload all attached xrefs, and reset layer settings to those in the xref.

    Have your raised a support request? Obviously needs to be fixed :-(

  • I have sent an SR.
  • Update:
    Today I have tried to reproduce the problem, but I was unable to do so (sadly I have lost the original test files). So I can only conclude that the BmInsert command works as it should. My apologies for any confusion I may have caused.

    @ Sarah: Please send in an SR should you still experience issues with BmInsert.
