Refresh Overlays

If overlays are not to be transformed manually in advance (for example, they are still required for untransformed Draft 12.1 sheets), it becomes necessary to manually refresh the overlays in advance in order for them to display correctly on DRAW sheets. Refresh overlays is not required if the overlays are to be transformed. Refresh overlays can be processed at any level in the hierarchy that contains overlays.

Refresh overlays does not affect Draft 12.1 overlays that are necessary for a mixed DRAFT 12.1 and AVEVA E3D Design project environment.

You can refresh overlays using the command:

REFRESHOVERLAYS [THUMBNAILS|NOTHUMBNAILS] [NOPROMPT]

The default is THUMBNAILS, because although it slows down conversion, there are not expected to be very large numbers of overlays.

Note:
NOPROMPT is automatic in tty mode, in graphical mode the default is to prompt you to confirm transformation.

When the refresh overlay process is complete, a log file is created and stored in the directory %AVEVA_DESIGN_USER%. The file name is of the form DraftLibraryRefresh-20141114-144807.log. The log file details the transformed elements.
