alias_api.do_updates

alias_api.do_updates(new_state: SupportsInt = True) → int

The do_updates flag is used to notify the system that you are finished performing. If this flag is true, then it is equivalent to sending out a ‘geometry modified’ message to the rest of the system. When the system receives the update message, then operations such as construction history etc are performed.

If the previous state of the flag was FALSE and the new state is TRUE, then an update will be performed now and on each subsequent dag modification.
