The name of a drawing that was added to the folder after
the data extraction was performed is listed in the New
Drawings Found dialog box.
Using wildcard characters (* and ?) as a search filter, data is extracted from
only those drawings that match the search criteria. For example, if a folder
contains an entire drawing set for a project, but you want only those drawings
that contain piping data, use wild-card characters to find only those drawings.
For example, *Pipe*.dwg.
If a new drawing is added to the folder that matches the wild-card search
criteria, it will not trigger an update notification because it was not included
in the original data extraction. To include the new drawing, you need to edit
the data extraction.
If the wildcard search criteria is removed after the data extraction has been
performed, the drawings that match the search criteria are no longer
monitored. If the wildcard search criteria is changed, only those drawings that
match the new criteria are monitored accordingly.
