If changes are made directly in the OPTIONS.INI file, it is possible to update the project accordingly using a simple command. The command is called:

 

CAELOPTIONSUPDATE

 

When that command is executed, the colours, states and other properties of the defined options are updated directly in the drawing sheets of the project.

 

Consequently it is possible to create an external customized software that modifies the OPTIONS.INI, for example by setting multiple options active or not active in the INI file. After that modification has been made, the CAELOPTIONSUPDATE command may be executed manually or sent to cadett ELSA for automatic execution. The changes will then take effect immediately.
