Update/Replace Inserted Data

Inventor Publisher supports updating three file types including Inventor data, Fusion DWG, and 123D while the original files are updated. Inventor Publisher maintains associativity to the three types source files that are inserted in to a document. Changes to these source files can be synced to the Publisher document. Easily change the source path if the location of the source changes. Also replace an source file with a different source file.

Update Inserted Data

There are two methods to check if the inserted file is in sync with the source.

Automatic - On every Publisher document open, any Inserted file present is checked to make sure that they are in sync with the source. Out of date data has an icon in the root node of the browser. Clicking on the icon updates the data.
Manual - Select any Inserted data root node in the browser and check status. Out of date data has an icon in the root node of the browser. Clicking on the icon updates the data.
