      I am just starting to work out how to use dynamic components, and wondered if anyone had made a toolbar icon for Redraw. I have quite a few plugins and so my right-click context menu is getting a little long and a Redraw icon would be really useful.

      Regards,
      Bob

        You can set it to redraw onclick using

        redraw()
        

        An intermediate solution but better than nothing.

          You can also set Redraw to be a shortcut, but it is a little strange to do it. You first have to right-click on a comp to bring up the context menu THEN go directly to your preferences and search for "Redraw". If you don't bring up the context menu, it will not show up in the shortcut list. And FWIW, I have had this shortcut somehow slip to something else from time to time, but I have not figured out when/how that happens.

            Dear Matt and Remus,

            Many thanks for the suggestions. I think it is an obvious icon to put on the 3 icon DC toolbar as it is used often when developing a DC. Perhaps the Google team will include the icon in their next release.

            Kind regards,
            Bob

              Feature request recorded. Thanks!

              Also, there has been some discussion about adding a redraw option for Free users as well. Even if you're not authoring, there are times when redrawing is desirable. (Like, after you manually edit some geometry.)

              Cheers,
