Im getting used to the dynamic sections, which is all great but i seem to have one last issue:
whenever im working on my layout and change color/ lineweight, i have to manually update the drawings with UpdateClippingDrawings and All before i see any change in my layout.
I found similar mentions of this from about a year ago and what i was doing was called “forcing to update”
Is this the Workflow i should be getting used to or is this a bug?
This seems to be the Version im running:
Version 8 SR12
(8.12.24282.7001, 2024-10-08)
I’m not sure. Since the command exists, there must be cases in which this is intended to be used. The help file mentions changes to the geometry and I’m not sure if that includes changes to attributes of the geometry. Clearly, in this case, it does.
At any rate, I’ve put this on the list for a closer look.

One thing i forgot to specify:
I have to manually update the drawings IF i chose to edit the Section (Drafting/ Sections/ Edit Drawings)
and changed PrintWidth=ByLayer to PrintWidth=ByInputObject.
If I leave it at PrintWidth=ByLayer the changes happen in an instant but that leaves me with no option to specify my lineweights individually…
Yes, you can only specify the print width for the layer. When you assign that individually to curves, that information will be overwritten when the clipping drawing is updated.
