Refreshing Trace Reference

Anonymous — Fri, 26 May 2023 14:37:38 GMT

I'm just started a project and it barely fits inside of the boarders on my layout at the desired scale. When I was working on it I noticed if I used the layout as the trace reverence I could see where I was placing my efforts so it fit on the page and looks right. But to get the trace reference to update I have to navigate to the layout, let the refresh happen, and then navigate back to the the model.

Is there a way to force a refresh of the trace references from the working model space I'm working in, especially those of layouts?

Yes. If you select the Layout in Navigator and hit the Update button (green circle), then just zoom or do something so your trace reference refreshes.

Or just press the "Rebuild Reference" button in the Trace & Reference palette.

You'd still have to update the view on the layout first though wouldn't you? Or is that not necessary if they're on Automatic Update? (I prefer Manual update)

I leave mine set on auto update and that works fine.
I just set one to manual and you have to manually update the layout page as you suggested.

So the Trace Reference will update an Auto Update view, even though the view has technically not been updated yet? Interesting.
