|                                            | When listing the library files of a certain type and/or path, it may take a while to type the path and the options into the command line. When a file is to be imported after a type and/or path has been specified during a previous command, the type and/or path will typically need to be entered again as part of the import command. Using the **/NoRefresh** option, it is not necessary to reenter [/Type](/grandma3/2-3/ok_type/) and/or [/Path](/grandma3/2-3/ok_path/) as part of the import command.  |

## Syntax

\[Function] Object \["Object\_Name" or Object\_Number] (If Drive \[Drive\_Number]) (/Option) ("/Option\_Value")

## General Keywords

General keywords that use the /NoRefresh option keyword:

- [Export keyword](/grandma3/2-3/keyword_export/)
- [Import keyword](/grandma3/2-3/keyword_import/)

## Examples

To use the /NoRefresh option to avoid reentering drive and path specifications:

- List all macro libraries within a specific path on a specific drive:

|                                                                    |                                                                                         |

- To import the second library from the list without reentering the drive and path, type:

|                                                                    |                                                  |
