Question
I have inserted a block into a file. Now, this block has been changed in the block manager. Is it possible to automatically update the already inserted block?Answer
When inserting a block, the assignment to the block defined in the block manager is lost so it is not possible to update the already inserted block after the block is changed in the block manager. However, you can create a named visibility for this block in the detail settings of the "Insert Block" dialog box (Figure 01). In this way, you can use Project Navigator - Views afterwards (Figure 01) to quickly find this block and replace it with the updated block.Keywords

Structural Analysis Models for Download
Download numerous structural models (for example, RFEM, RSTAB, or RWIND files) to utilize them for training purposes or for your projects.
- How can I change the colors of the selection and preselection?
- After calculating the add -on module RF-/DYNAM Pro - Equivalent Loads, the size of my file has increased significantly. The performance has deteriorated enormously. What could be the reason for this?
- Can I have generated member loads from surface loads act eccentrically on the member section by means of a plane?
- Why are my imperfections displayed differently and can I adjust the display?
- What happens to the programs and add -on modules if the network license times out? And how can I increase the timeout?
- Why is it not possible to select a load case in the RF-/STEEL add-on module for design, although it is defined in RFEM/RSTAB?
- Does the load generation also work for curved members?
- What effects can renumbering elements have on the printout report and the add -on modules?
- In my model, some surfaces are displayed in gray, while others are displayed in white without a gray filling. The "solid transparent" display type is selected for the graphics. How can all surfaces be displayed in gray?
- How can I get the member end forces to design the connections?
