Dynamic and Manual Updates of a Linked
Object
The default setting for a link is automatic updates, meaning that whenever
the source data are changed, the data in your display changes.
You can change this updating frequency to manual through the Links
dialog box. Manual updates are also initiated through this dialog box.
Edit, Update, or Break Links
If you have created an automatic link to another object, it updates
whenever you open the entry. If you have created a manually updated link,
use the Update Now button on the Links dialog box to update your linked
object.
When you move a display, you may need to change the sources for linked
objects by breaking the links and re-establishing them.
1. Open the display.
2. In Build mode, click Edit > Links. The Links dialog box appears.
3. Click the link you want to change.
You can select several links at once by pressing the CTRL key and
clicking each link.
4. Choose one of the following options:
Select Manual Updates the linked data manually.
Click Update Now Updates the linked data immediately.
Click Open Source Edits the linked data.
Click Break Link Permanently breaks the link. The object is converted to a
picture (metafile).
5. Click OK.
