Drawing Environment > Detailed command descriptions > Block update commands

The Update Blocks commands can be found both in the ribbon menu and in the Classic pull-down menu.

All eight variants of the command can be reached from the Symbols slide-out panel of the Tools tab in the ribbon menu, as shown in the figure below.

If you are using the Classic workspace, you can reach the same commands using sub-menus of the Tools pull-down menu. An example of that is shown in the figure below.

You can of course also activate the commands directly from the command line. The easiest way of doing that, is with the CAELUPDATESYMBOLS command, which incorporates all available options. Please refer to the table below.
