Updating and Refreshing Annotations

Once inserted, annotation references do not change unless they are explicitly changed. For example, if the object data for a drawing object changes, any anotations that use the object data will still display the original value.

There are two operations for revising existing annotation references:

• Updating
• Refreshing

Updating removes and recreates all the annotations that use a template. Refreshing re-evaluates the annotation expressions, but does not remove out-of-date annotations.

To update annotations, call AnnotationTemplate.UpdateReferences().

newTemplate.UpdateReferences(True)

To refresh annotations, call AnnotationTemplate.RefreshReferences().

newTemplate.RefreshReferences(True)
