Components Update ? @TIG

Didier Bur

Hi,
i want to have an "compos update" function of all the components of the model.
This seems not to work:

defs=Sketchup.active_model.definitions
defs.each { |comp| defs.load  comp.path } #assuming comp.path != nil

This doesn't return any error BUT the components are not updated (same geometry). What's wrong in this code ?

After reading XrefManager script, it seems that refreshing an Xref is done by adding a new definition to the model from a SKP file, then make the old component "obsolete", and re-inserting every instance of the former component. I hope there's another way to do this, as simple as doing it manually in the compos browser...
Regards,

My Xref Manager is somewhat out of date since I could now use 'import' to do this much easier - but don't tell anyone !
I must get around to re-doing it one day - so much to do, so little time !

Why not try import rather than load ?
