Update for Autodesk Inventor
If CAD documents are iterated on the Windchill server, then your Workspace copies become out-of-date. You can use the Update command to update the object information in your Workspace with the information available in your Windchill server. You must also use the update command after applying specification changes to your Workspace. Update aligns the version of objects available in session with your primary Workspace in accordance with the Workspace configuration specification. The Update command is always unidirectional, and begins from the server to replace what is in session in the Workspace.
For example, a Workspace configuration specification is Latest, and an A.2 version of an object is added to your Workspace. In the meantime, a different user has checked out this object and checked in an A.3 (latest) version to the Workspace. (A Workspace preference allows you to set the defaults used for this action.)
To update an object in Autodesk Inventor, click > or click > in Autodesk Inventor. Alternatively, select the object in Windchill Workgroup Manager client, and then click > .

When replacing out-of-date components in an assembly that is already open in session, you no longer have to close and reopen the assembly to complete the Update action. Beginning at Windchill 11.0 F000, assembly components in the Local Workspace can be replaced with updated ones while the assembly is open and in work. In Autodesk Inventor, when a Family Table is modified, the entire assembly will be closed and updated.

If the Out Of Date and Out Of Date With Workspace Configuration columns are displayed in the Workspace, during each Workspace refresh, Windchill checks the Workspace for objects that are out-of-date with respect to the Workspace configuration specification. A notification appears when an object is out-of-date. These columns are not displayed by default, as a check during each refresh slows the Workspace refresh.
