Updating a Master Dynamo

To update a Master Dynamo:

  1. Open the Dynamo Set that contains the Master Dynamo object that you want to update. For details, refer to the Opening Dynamo Sets section.
  2. In the Dynamo Set, select the Master Dynamo object.
  3. Drag-and-drop the Master Dynamo to an open picture.

NOTE: While you can right-click a Dynamo from within the Dynamo Set and select Dynamo Properties to edit overall Dynamo properties, you have limited access to what you can edit within the Dynamo this way. Instead, we recommend editing the Master Dynamo from an open picture, instead.

  1. If user prompts are associated with the Dynamo object, the Dynamo Properties dialog box appears. Enter the required information and click OK,
  2. In the picture, make the required changes to the Dynamo object you just copied in.

TIP: To select a single object within a Dynamo object, with the Dynamo object selected, on the right-click menu, select the Enter Drill-down option. A box appears around the group. Select the object in the group you want to change and make your changes.

  1. When finished, deselect the object and the group. The box disappears.
  2. Select the Dynamo again, and drag-and-drop the Dynamo back to the same Dynamo Set. The Overwrite Master Dynamo dialog box appears.
  3. Select Overwrite the Existing Master Dynamo option.

NOTE: If you select the Create a New Master Dynamo instead, all instances created from the old Master Dynamo will no longer be linked to the new Master Dynamo. And, a new Dynamo ID number will be generated.

  1. Click OK. The Master Dynamo is updated in the Dynamo Set. You may need to scroll slightly to view the Master Dynamo in the Dynamo Set document.
  2. If you want to update the Dynamo Instances in your pictures so that they reflect the new settings in the Master Dynamo, use the steps in the following sections:
