Inserting Annotations
Annotation
Annotation Overrides
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 Refreshing re-evaluates the annotation expressions, but does not remove out-of-date annotations.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)
