FAQ: How do I get section results in my drawing to update automatically?

Keep sections results and xref section results in drawings automatically updated.

To ensure that section results in your drawing are always updated, select the section result, and in the Properties palette, set the Refresh on Open to Yes. Hereafter, whenever you open the drawing, the updated section result is retrieved from the source.

You can set this for as many section results in your drawing as you want. This also works for section results inserted as external references.

By default, this is set to No. If you open a drawing with section results, you cannot start working on the drawing until all section results set to refresh automatically are refreshed. The time taken for this operation depends on the number of section results in your drawing and how large they are. Section results inserted as external references take longer to refresh.
