Using the Refresh Button in Ideate Explorer

When using Ideate Explorer, you can hit the Refresh button to force Ideate Explorer to rebuild the element list in the Results pane.


Here are three situations in which this “refresh” may be needed:


  1. When using “Activate View from a Sheet,” the Results pane will continue to display the Sheet elements if the “Active View is Display” option is current until a refresh is performed. The “Read Display Field” in Ideate Explorer is current until a refresh is performed as well.
  2. When the Search method is used and a new element is added, the Results pane will not automatically display the new element; a refresh is required.
  3. Using the Reveal Hidden Elements (a.k.a. the 'lightbulb') tool requires a refresh if the Display is set to “Active View”
