I am working on imported PDFs.
After getting it in and properly scaling it, I want to draw overf it. I then want to modify the GIF in PSP by erasing part of it, and refresh it in DataCad.

I can work round it by changing the name and bringing in under that, but I would like to have a manager rather like the xref manager.

I second this idea.

My current work around is to close and reopen DataCAD. This forces it to look up the bitmap again and "refreshes" it.

I think if you change the Bitmaps in the .ini file, they will refresh, my settings below seem to work.

[Bitmaps]
MaxSize=0.005
MinSize=0.001

Just tried this and WOW! Thanks for the tip Roger. Apparently with the MaxSize set small (I assume it means 0.005 MB), it forces DataCAD to refresh to bitmap every time it updates its display. Thanks again.

Thanks for that.
I have found it a bit flakey but that may just be procedural, and it is certainly better than what I had before!

I GET THE TRICK!!

1 work on the PDF in PaintShopPro

2 ctrl-S

3 Return to DataCad - see no change

4 hit arrows < and >

5 See the change, as DataCad is forced to refresh the image.

Thanks

You can also just hit U to update the display.
