Reloads current project data files (objects) using their associated data source drivers. Objects can be selected from the list on the lift (select as many as required by left-clicking).
Reloading vs Refreshing Data
The important point to remember with reloading is that data is reloaded from the original source - for example, if an AutoCad® file is imported using the driver, and a .dm file is created, the link between the Datamine file and the original source is maintained. In this situation, when data is reloaded, the Datamine file will be reloaded into memory from the project file and not the original source data file (AutoCad) has changed, these changes will not be reflected in the associated Datamine file.
Refreshing data is slightly different. When data is refreshed, the original data source is accessed (the non-Datamine file). Then, the associated .dm file is updated in line with the original source using the Data Source Drivers, and then loaded into your application. This process ensures that the data viewed in your application is synonymous with the non-Datamine format file.
