AI Document-View synchronization issue

Question

My plugin works as following:1. Delete a layer named "X1"2. Add a layer "X1" and also add some art on that document3. RedrawDocument() 4. SyncDocument from AIDocumentSuite5. Saves changes through code6. SyncDocument from AIDocumentSuite7. RedrawDocument from AIDocumentSuiteRedraw at step 3 works fine. but ...redraw at step 7 loads document of state which is during "opening" the document (before step 1 of the above steps).When I close the document and open again, I can see that the changes have been saved successfully.A document-reload will be a work-around solution for me right now. But I don't find the reload document function either.What might be the possible reasons for this document's Redraw failure ?P.S. : I have used GetDocument() multiple times as a validation to check if any document is open or not. Can this be a problem, if it return a copy of the document for redraw.

This will sound stupid, but trying calling RedrawDocument() twice. I've known cases where that was required to make the document redraw.

Beyond that, I don't know why it wouldn't immediatley be reflected. We create layers & art all time and don't have any problems getting the results rendered normally. Granted, we're not usually replacing a layer, but presumably you've tried that workflow with a change to the newly added layer named something like 'X2' instead and that works? Also, do you need to call SyncDocument? We've never had to call that, and in fact the documentation on the function indicates that you shouldn't normally have to.
