Updating an Interference Check

Product Documentation
Intermediate

Update an interference check after pipe network parts have been changed.

An interference check is marked as out of date when any pipe network part in the interference check is changed. Even changing a description on a pipe network part that is not in interference causes an interference check to become out of date. So does moving, deleting, or adding parts to any network included in the interference check.

Note

Out-of-date icons are displayed only if the Toolspace drawing item modifier icon display is active. For more information, see Drawing Item Modifier Icons.

When you update an interference check, you can leave the interference checking conditions as they are currently set, or you can change them before rerunning the check.

Use the Interference Check Properties dialog to change interference check options, criteria, and other properties.
