the space. When the filter is removed from the space in the previous version,
and the drawing is re-opened in AutoCAD Architecture 2011, the change in
the filter setting will be ignored. It is recommended that you carefully examine
your spaces after roundtripping them between different versions of AutoCAD
Architecture in order to avoid space errors.
Activating and Deactivating Automatic Updates
Use this procedure to activate or deactivate the automatic update of associative
spaces.
Updating each temporary change to the space geometry might not be necessary
or desirable. For example, if you delete a wall only to replace it with a different
one in the same position, you only need the space to update after the new
wall is in place, rather than once when the old wall is removed and again
when the new one is inserted.
Manual updates offer better performance, but mean that the geometry of
spaces and their boundary objects might be out-of-synch at a given time during
the drawing session.
When the automatic update of associative spaces is deactivated, and an area
calculation standard has been selected to calculate boundary offsets, the rules
of the standard will only be applied to changed spaces when either the
automatic update has been activated again or the spaces are updated manually,
as described in Manually Updating Associative Spaces on page 2930.
IMPORTANT When you re-activate the automatic update of spaces, only those
spaces will be updated that had no boundary objects added while the update was
off. For example, if you added a dividing wall to a space while the automatic
update was off, and then turn the automatic update on, the space will not be
divided by the wall. Update the space manually to reflect the new geometry.
