‘There are occasions when the DRAFT database needs to be updated
specifically, as opposed to the routine updating that occurs from time to
time in normal use. This chapter explains when and how you should do
this.
16.1 Updating Picture Files
This operation should be carried out to recover from a corrupt picture
file, such as may result from a RECONFIGURER operation, or if an
attempt has been made to display a VIEW created using a previous
version of DRAFT.
Annotation graphies will always be restored but Design graphies may not,
be. In all such cases, a message alert will be displayed instructing you to
carry out the update operation, and this is the only time that the
operation should be carried out.
Select Graphics > System Update > Picture from the Administration menu.
16.2 Updating Template Instancing
‘This option (valid at SHEE, BACK, OVER, SYLB or LALB level, or
above) scans the database hierarchy and updates all those parts of
picture files that use the graphics ‘instancing’ mechanism. For example,
a SYMB is an ‘instance’ of a SYTM. OLAY and BACK elements are in the
same category.
This update should be used to generate the correct graphics after the
LIBNO NEW option has been used in RECONFIGURER.
Select Graphics > System Update > Instances from the Administration
menu,

16.3 Updating Cross-DB Reference Attributes
This option updates all DRAFT element attributes that refer to elements
in the Design database. The settings of such attributes exist as database
reference numbers.
‘The updating function operates on the current element. It should only be
used if the Design database has been deleted and rebuilt from macros,
See Appendix C of the VANTAGE PDMS DRAFT User Guide for further
details.
Select Graphics > System Update > Refs from the Administration menu.
16.4 Updating Cross-DB Name Attributes
DRAFT elements with attributes that refer to elements in the Design
database (the settings of which exist as database reference numbers) also
have (hidden) text attributes set to the names of the referenced elements.
This option updates the latter attributes, using the settings of the
associated reference attributes.
The updating function operates on the current element. It should only be
used if the Design database has been deleted and rebuilt from macros.
See Appendix C of the VANTAGE PDMS DRAFT User Guide for further
details.
Select Graphics > System Update > Names from the Administration menu.
