Updating SmartParts

Module(s): SmartParts

You can use the Update SmartPart tool to update a SmartPart based on the parameters currently saved.

Note: You can use Update SmartPart if you have edited a SmartPart using Resize and you are not satisfied with the result.

To update a SmartPart

1. Click Update SmartPart (How).
   

   Activate Update SmartPart in one of the following ways

   • Menu bar: Change Bonus Tools SmartParts

   • Palette: Tools Change area in the following module(s):

   SmartParts

2. Click the SmartPart.

   The SmartPart is created again based on the parameters currently saved.

   If the current drawing file contains copies of the changed SmartPart, the program displays these copies in the selection color and asks whether you want to update these copies, too:
   Would you like to update identical SmartParts?

3. You have the following options:
   • Click Show identical ones to get a close-up view of all SmartParts that are identical.
   • Click Yes to apply the changes to all the copies.
   • Click No to leave the copies as they are; this creates a variant of the SmartPart.
