Reload references

Hi all,

Maybe this is a really stupid request and/or I´m way too lazy :oops: , but would be great to have a reload button for the MXS reference object.

Cheers
JC

Could you let me know the purpose of this? It sounds like it is meant to address some problem, but you don't mention what that might be.

Sorry I wasn´t clear.

Often I use many MXS references in my projects in order to improve the viewport speed (I have made own xpresso setup in a noob way :oops: so when you duplicate it many times the viewport gets jammed) and sometimes I have to go back to the original file to make some little modifications and re export the file(s) as a MXS again.
Now after saving the file(s) again I go back to my main project and I have to relink the MXS in order to get the object(s) updated, so I was thinking that a simple reload button in the MXS reference object would save some clicks or even using an automatic update. :?:

Hope I explain myself better this time.

Thanks, I understand now. I thought you meant that the reference was losing its reference or something. I should be able to handle your scenario without making you have to click an explicit reload button -- I'll take a look and let you know.
