To Update Out-of-Date TIMs and ATB-enabled Imported Features
1. Select an out-of-date Translated Image Model (TIM) or an Associative Topology Bus (ATB)-enabled feature.
* 
If you set the atb_auto_check_on_update configuration option to on, you can select TIMs or ATB-enabled features for update regardless of their current status. You do not have to perform Check Status to check if the TIMs or ATB-enabled features are out-of-date before you click Update. When you click Model > Operations > ATB > Update, the status of the TIMs or ATB-enabled features is automatically checked and the out-of-date TIMs or ATB-enabled features are updated in a single step.
2. Click Model > Operations > ATB > Update.
If you have set the value of the atb_show_log configuration option to on, an Information Window opens showing the contents of the log file, topo_bus.log, generated in the working directory.
Each of the out-of-date TIMs are updated after the status of all the TIMs are confirmed.
Geometry added or removed from the model before the update is added or removed from the TIM after the update.
The system regenerates the assembly and reimports components that are flagged out-of-date.
