This function will post updated changes on the specified web feature layer and return a list of true (T) if successful. Once changes are posted, the layer will be redrawn to include all changes within the current project area. This function allows you to programmatically synchronize changes.
Drawings that were previously saved will be saved after updating the web feature layer. The process of synchronizing a feature layer will update the feature layer source with geometric and attribute edits made in the drawing. All of the feature entities on the web feature layer's CAD layer will be erased and then features from the server within the project area will be added back to the drawing, including all edits from other sources.
