Generate the Graphics

Once the critical attributes of a VIEW are set (for example, by an AUTO command) the graphics can be generated by:
UPDATE DESIGN
SAVEWORK
Note:
The UPDATE command creates the VIEW graphics in a Central Picture Store (CPS) within
the computer's memory.
The SAVEWORK command is not necessary but is recommended. It saves the graphics in
the CPS to Picture Files in the Picture File directory. In subsequent Draw sessions, the graphics are read from the Picture File without the need for an UPDATE
command.
If you leave Draw via a QUIT command the graphics in the CPS are not saved and any existing Picture
Files are not updated.
Leaving Draw by switching to another module performs an implicit SAVEWORK, graphics in the CPS
are saved to Picture Files.
