If your model drawing contains parts for which no derived drawing exists yet, then you use this function to generated the corresponding workshop or detail drawings. You can either have all parts of the model drawing checked, or select the corresponding parts in HELiOS.

	All HiCAD checks which parts of the model drawing are not linked to a derived drawing and generates the corresponding missing drawings.
	Selection via HELiOS The search mask of the HELiOS Desktop will be activated, enabling you to select the corresponding parts (Link: Without drawing). Clicking Apply automatically takes you back to HiCAD. The selected parts are highlighted in colour in the model drawing. If you answer the query with Yes, the derived drawings will be generated.

Update drawing

PDM > Drawing > Derive > Update

Use this function to update an already existing, derived drawing after changes to the model drawing. Furthermore, updating a derived drawing enables you to close gaps in the model drawing which can for instance occur when deleting unneeded views.

You can either have all parts of the model drawing checked, or select the corresponding parts in HELiOS.

	All HiCAD checks which derived drawing are not up to date, and re-generates the corresponding drawings.
	Selection via HELiOS The search mask of the HELiOS Desktop will be activated, enabling you to select the corresponding parts (Link: Drawing not up to date). Clicking Apply automatically takes you back to HiCAD. The selected parts are highlighted in colour in the model drawing. If you answer the query with Yes, the derived drawings will be generated.

Please note:

For external PDM-managed drawings you can now specify whether missing sectional views are to be created in case of an updating of derived drawings. In the Configuration Editor, select GENERAL > DRAWINGS > CREATE > CREATE MISSING SECTIONAL VIEWS WHEN UPDATING PDM-MANAGED DRAWINGS. Default setting is 0 (do not rearrange).

Furthermore, it is now possible to switch off the automatic rearranging of views. You specify this setting via the Configuration Editor. Select GENERAL > DRAWINGS > CREATE > REARRANGE VIEWS WHEN UPDATING DRAWINGS MANAGED VIA PDM. The default setting is 1 (rearrange).
