Action
|
Description
|
||
Update
|
Modifications to an object (primarily revisions or iterations) made by other users, or by you in another workspace, may cause your current workspace object to become out-of-date with respect to either:
• The document configuration specification (for CAD documents and dynamic documents)
• The part configuration specification
These are defined in the workspace preferences. The default workspace configuration specification is the latest iteration on the latest revision. So, the
> action typically checks for a later version of an object on the server, and if one is found, replaces the object in your workspace with the later, server version. |
||
Refresh
|
The Refresh action creates a fresh rendering of the workspace page. It can be performed explicitly (by clicking the refresh icon in the workspace toolbar). It can also be triggered implicitly, in one of the following ways: • By a new invocation of the workspace page • By returning to a workspace page from elsewhere in Windchill • Upon completion of a PDM action, using the embedded browser • (In the background) During PDM actions performed from the CAD application (mechanical CAD applications, only) • By the function of the preference, > , which sets a frequency for checking access rights and performing a comprehensive workspace refresh (default is 1800 seconds)
|
||
Synchronize
|
The Synchronize action includes all of the updates included in a workspace refresh. In addition, when you select > , additional server checks are performed, including the following:
• Synchronizing out-of-sync objects— for example, changes made to the workspace on another computer
• Updating the client with modifications made to server preferences
|
|
Use the Creo Parametric configuration option overwrite_contents_on_update to control behavior during the Update action from the Creo Parametric user interface. Note that "yes" is the default setting.
