Track drawing views

  1. Choose Tools tab→Assistants group→Drawing View Tracker .

  2. In the Drawing View Tracker dialog box, in the Drawing view status box, select a view or model.

  3. Review the step-by-step instructions for updating the selected view or model in the Update Instructions box.

Tip:

  • Click Details to display information about the model status, such as whether the model has been modified or is missing.

  • Click Update Views to update drawing views without exiting the Drawing View Tracker. The Update Views button updates out-of-date views (for example, a view that no longer matches because the part file has been modified), but does not update out-of-date models (for example, a view that no longer matches because a part file has been modified outside the context of its parent assembly file).

  • In the Drawing View Status box, you can update views individually by right-clicking on them and selecting Update View.

  • In the Details box, you can toggle assembly display by right-clicking on assemblies or associated parts and selecting Show Entire Assembly.

  • You can highlight assemblies, subassemblies, and parts by clicking them in the Details box. The highlight is displayed in all views on the active sheet.

  • You can open files directly from the Drawing View Tracker to view or modify them. Right-click the document shown in the Details box and select Open.

    Note:

    The document is displayed using the Document Name Formula.
