Globally updating all sections and elevations may take a while.
A status window lets you know which drawing is currently being
updated.
When you start the global update, the Stop button is available. If
you want to interrupt the global update, click Stop. When the
global update is finished, the Start button is available.
Updating Legacy Drawings
During the global update of 2D sections and elevations, each drawing in the
project or specified folder is opened, updated, and saved again. If you are
updating drawings from an earlier version of the software, the drawings are
converted to the current version. Before you convert the drawings, a warning
message notifies you of the conversion. To update the drawings to the new
version, click OK. To cancel the update of all sections and elevations, press
CTRL+BREAK.
Update Exceptions
There are a number of cases in which a 2D section or elevation cannot be
updated with the global update.
â–  The drawing containing the 2D section or elevation is read-only.
â–  The 2D section or elevation is placed on a locked layer.
â–  There have been user edits to a 2D section or elevation that could not be
reapplied to the 2D section or elevation.
When a 2D section or elevation cannot be updated, an error message is
displayed in the status window.
To fix the problem, you can set the drawing to read/write instead of read-only,
you can unlock the section layer, or you can undo a specific user edit to a 2D
section or elevation.
2D Elevation Styles
A 2D section/elevation style is a group of properties assigned to a 2D elevation
that determines the appearance and other characteristics of that object.
