Updating Viewports

Changes that affect the appearance of a viewport are automatically updated for a wireframe viewport. However, if changes require the viewport to be rendered again, the viewport will be displayed as an out-of-date viewport.

If a sheet layer with an out-of-date viewport is printed, a message prompts you to either print the viewport as an out-of-date viewport or update the viewport on the sheet layer before printing.

Rendered viewport updates occur in the background for Renderworks render modes; you can continue working in the file while the viewports are updating. See Background Rendering.
