Allows you to update documents on a Batch Server while you continue to work on other tasks. You can set up batch update jobs for a single document or a select set of documents you select in the Detail View. This command is available when you right-click on a single drawing or a select set of drawings in the Detail View.
The Batch > Update command displays the Schedule Wizard so you can specify whether the drawing should be updated now or at a scheduled date and time. The batch update job runs on a batch server. If the command is not available on the shortcut menu for your documents, batch processing is not configured.
To walk-through the Schedule Wizard and set up batch updates, see Batch Schedule Wizard common tasks.
To view and manage current batch jobs, see Manage batch jobs.
