The Update Highltghting Button: Create Highlighting from File
The Update Highlighting button in the DRC Menu will delete
the internal list of DRC error highlighting indicators, and rebuild
the list from a DRC error log file. The error log file must exist in
the current directory, have a file name beginning with ``drcerror.log'', and apply to the current cell. If there are multiple
files found, a listing will appear, allowing the user to make a
choice. After selecting an entry, pressing the Apply button on
the list pop-up will continue the operation.
DRC error files are produced by the Check In Foreground and Check In Background menu commands. In the foreground check, the
highlighting list is generated along with the file, however no
highlighting is produced in background checking, so this command can
be used to visualize the errors in that case. It can also be used to
bring back the highlighting that was cleared with the Clear
Errors command, if there is a corresponding error log file.
The Dump Error File command performs the reverse operation,
creating an error log file from the internal highlighting list.
The !errs prompt line command performs the same operations as
this button.
