I've done this before, but, for the life of me, can't find it again!
I changed my model, and all of the drawing updated except my broken-out section view. I'e right-clicked on it, and can't find the "update view" option.
Am I blind??? [sadeyes]

SWHelp said:
Drawing View Update
By default, all drawing views are updated automatically when the model changes. You can change this behavior to allow manual regeneration of drawing views.

In manual view regeneration mode, you can update all the views at once when you are ready, or update them one by one. When the model changes, any drawing views that need to be updated are marked with a light gray crosshatch pattern.

NOTE: You cannot activate or edit a view that needs to be updated.

To manually update drawing views:

Right-click the Drawing icon at the top of the FeatureManager design tree, and click Automatic view update. If there is no check mark, it indicates that manual view regeneration is enabled.

To update all the views at once, either:

Click Edit, Update All Views.

Click Edit, Rebuild or Rebuild .

Right-click the Drawing icon in the FeatureManager design tree, and click Update All Views.

To update selected drawing views:

Select the view, then click Edit, Update View, or click Update View on the Drawing toolbar. (Use Tools, Customize to add the Update View icon to your toolbar, if necessary.)

Right-click the view, and select Update View.

Press Ctrl to select more than one view at a time for updating.

SBaugh,
That worked! Thanks!

CorBlimey... I'd tried everything in SWhelp... I spent a lot of time on that screen, but couldn't get it to work. I wouldn't post the question if I hadn't already looked there.
Thanks anyway.
