To Automatically Check the Status when Updating Out-of-Date TIMs and ATB-enabled Features
1. Set the atb_auto_check_on_update configuration option to on.
2. Select Translated Image Models (TIMs) or ATB-enabled features from the Model Tree regardless of their status as up-to-date or out-of-date.
3. Click Model > Operations > ATB > Update.
* 
You do not have to perform Check Status to check if the TIM components or ATB-enabled features are out-of-date before you click Model > Operations > ATB > Update.
The status of the imported objects are automatically checked.
Automatic check does not compare the number of components and surfaces.
* 
The log file, topo_bus.log, is not created in the working directory.
The out-of-date imported objects are updated in a single step eliminating the two-step procedure of checking the status before update.
