This task will show you how to update list of CATDrawing
documents which are file or ENOVIA LCA based in batch environment. The batch monitor
lets you create as many batch configurations as required, and follow the
progress of an update. Updating drawings via the batch monitor will be
particularly helpful if you need to update a great number of drawings (but
do not need to visualize them while doing so), or drawings which require
large CPU resources.
For more details on using the batch monitor, refer to Using the Batch
Monitor in the Infrastructure User's Guide. |
