If the space geometry can be updated, it will reflect the new geometry.
Manually updating all associative spaces in the drawing
1
Select any associative space in the drawing.
2
Right-click, and click Update Space Geometry
➤
All Associative Spaces.
Merging Associative Spaces
Associative spaces can be merged by removing bounding objects that separate them. If you have activated the automatic
update of associative spaces (as described in “
Activating and Deactivating Automatic Updates
” on page 1599), no further
user interaction is necessary. If spaces being merged have different property values for styles, boundary offsets, display,
and property set data, the following rules determine the property values in the merged space:
■
When one of the spaces to be merged has property set data, the properties of that space are applied to the merged
space.
■
When all of the spaces to be merged or none of them have property set data, the properties of the largest space are
applied to the resulting space.
■
When all of the spaces to be merged or none of them have property set data, and they are additionally of same
size, the properties of the oldest space are applied to the merged space.
This can result in irregular property assignments, so it is recommended that you check the merged space’s properties.
If the automatic update of associative spaces has not been activated, you need to merge spaces between deleted bounding
objects manually. This process involves more steps than the automatic update, but allows you more control over which
space’s properties are retained in the resulting space.
Automatically merging associative spaces
1
Verify that the automatic update of associative spaces has been activated, as described in “
Activating and
Deactivating Automatic Updates
” on page 1599.
2
Select the bounding object that separates the spaces you want to merge, and delete it.
3
Verify that the resulting merged space’s object and schedule properties are correct for the new space, and
modify if necessary.
