The Reload command unloads a package and reloads a new version of it. This command is available on a project, a library, a BOM, and rule packages when they have not been modified and do not contain any modified elements. The Reload command is available in the Project Explorer and BOM Explorer shortcut menus.
To reload a package:
-
Right-click a package and then click Reload on the shortcut menu.
Note |
A reload of the project is automatically performed when the CVS Update command is used. |
The following scenario shows an example of when the Reload is necessary:
-
User1 creates two elements linked by a relationship (a Parameter P that references a BOM class C). C is contained in the BOM and P is contained in the package P1.
-
User1 creates C2 and sets the reference of the parameter P to C2.
-
User1 only commits P1.
-
User2 updates. The reference of P to C is broken, since C2 does not exist in the BOM of User1.
-
User1 then commits the BOM.
-
User2 updates again. The BOM is reloaded so that C2 now exists, but the reference is not restored.
-
User2 reloads P1 and then the reference of P to C2 is restored.
