Tutorial 16: Update entire documents when 3D CAD models change

When 3D CAD designs change, entire documents created in QuadriSpace can be updated automatically.

1. Close the current Document.
2. Open the example file “[YOUR INSTALLATION DIRECTORY]/Tutorial 5/tutorial_5_final.qsd”. This will open a document that is designed for print publishing.
3. Use the scroll bar to the right of the page to review the 3 page document. Notice the color of the housing, the lack of holes in the housing and the lack of holes in the gear.
4. Click one of the 3D views.
5. Select the Configurations Ribbon and click on the Update Button to bring up the update tool.
6. Click the ‘…’ or browse button next to the file name in the “Current Path” column. Now, select the file “[YOUR INSTALLATION DIRECTORY]/Tutorial 5/revised_design.SLDASM” and press OK.
7. Press the Update Models Button. After the progress bar completes, press the Done Button.
8. Flip through the document and notice that all of the views have been updated with the revised 3D model. Also notice that exploded views, markups and viewpoint created with QuadriSpace were maintained.

Update entire documents quickly and easily when 3D CAD designs are changed.
