About Enhancements to Content Libraries (AutoCAD Mechanical)

Content libraries are enhanced to detect and receive updates over the Internet.

If you are signed in to Autodesk 360, whenever an update to a content library is available, the library is flagged by , as shown below.

On the ribbon, the same flag is superimposed on the Content Manager icon ( Find).

You can update the out-of-date content libraries from the Content Manager. Once updated, the updated content libraries are indicated as shown below.

Sometimes, due to a content library update, the appearance of a standard part or feature that already exists in a content library may change. This typically happens if the content update fixes a defect. If you have already inserted the defective standard part or feature in a drawing file, you can update it by double-clicking it in the drawing area.
