Drawing(.idw) will not update upon .ipt change

[jbelle7435]

I am having issues with this. I create the part. I create the drawing. I add the part to the drawing. I make a modification to the part and then I select update(Lighting bolt) and NOTHING HAPPENS. Even when I did the local update.

I will review the rest of the thread tomorrow as I am leaving Inventor for today but this is bugging me!!

I can only see the change when I close the drawing and re-open it as of now.

note: When I do hit the update button it does shown the change for a split second then goes back to its previous state. Why does it not stay the new updated version??

Are both the drawing and IPT residing in your current Work DIrectory. The drawing my be outside of the current work directory and in a Library directory?

You don't have the "Defer Updates" checked in the "Documents Setting>Drawing"?

Not in front of it inventor until tm but not sure about directory stuff in the 1st part you stated so I will check on that.

I did see this is other threads about this "defer upate". I did check it and it did not work still. I will try again tomorrow though and see if any progress was made.

might of been a fluke with this part I was working on. I started a new one and it was updating as per change to the .ipt file. Plus I don't have the defer updates checked. It is unchecked and works
