tlupdate
Description
Updates linked tags by reloading the source files for each link. This is most useful when working on a document that contains linked tags that have been modified by another open document.
Syntax
tlupdate tag name:t? force:n? ( no check:n? ( break:n? ) )
tag name
The name of the tag to be updated
force
0
Default value: only change tags whose source files have been changed since last being loaded (e.g. the document was opened or reformatted)
1
Update all linked tags to the most recent version stored. This option calls for every linked tag used in a document, and if used in conjunction with the break parameter, makes it possible to send someone else a self-contained .3d file containing all the required tag information.
no check
Ø|0
Default value: give a warning if the tag being updated has been changed more recently within the document itself than in the source file. You can then choose to reload or not to reload the tag, or turn the warning message off for further tags being updated at the same time.
1
Stop the warning message from appearing and update the tag regardless of which version is the most recent.
break
0
Do not break links after updating them.
1
Break all links after updating them. This makes it possible to then save a completely self-contained document.
