when are DRD markers refreshed?

In Virtuoso-L, DRD is a nice feature at times but because of a lot of excessive and oversimplified spacing rules hardcoded into our released tech file (which we as end-users cannot / should not change), a lot of the markers are just irrelevant clutter which mask the useful ones.  To address this, I load a drdFixes.il file, which makes transient session-only changes to the rules (using calls to techSetSpacingRule and such) via the layout trigger so it gets loaded on every open, descend-edit, and return.

So, my question is, when do the markers get refreshed / regenerated?  Can the regen / refresh be performed manually from a skill command? Understanding this would help a lot with development of the drdFixes.il file.

Thanks

    I don't see 'Design' in the layout tool Verify banner menu. This is VLS-L IC6.1.7-64b.500.6. The docs point out that it's XL or GXL only. We do have one WANnable XL license somewhere, is there an L way to do the same thing or is getting the XL license the only way to go?
