Refresh File from Vault with the AutoCAD Vault Add-in

The Refresh From Vault command compares the local file version with the version in the vault.

If the local version is not the latest, the Refresh from Vault gets the latest version of the file to the local working folder, and the current drawing is reloaded.

The Update Properties feature is integrated with the vault revision table feature whereby it keeps revision block data synchronized with vault released information. For more information on the revision table feature, refer to the Vault Revision Table section.
