Full Label Refresh

Command

Command Description
ATREFRESH_LABELS_FULL Full label refresh — reload all data from database and regenerate labels

Prerequisites

  • A FireCAD project must be open

Overview

The ATREFRESH_LABELS_FULL command performs a complete data reload from the database followed by label regeneration. This is slower than ATREFRESH_LABELS but ensures all data is current by reloading entities, segments, circuits, and device types from the database before recalculating labels.

Steps

  1. Type ATREFRESH_LABELS_FULL in the AutoCAD command line
  2. FireCAD reloads all entity data from the database
  3. All labels regenerate from the fresh data

When to Use

  • After operations that create new data in the database (duplicating drawings, restoring drawings)
  • When ATREFRESH_LABELS doesn't fix label issues (data may be stale in the cache)
  • After external database modifications
  • As a troubleshooting step for persistent label problems
