Dynamic Views are attached to the drawing/sheets by default as unsynchronized (MS_REF_DEFAULTSETTINGS), this prevent unintentional changes to be propagated into drawing and sheets. To synchronize DV changes you made, you will want to synchronize view. To do this, locate the DV reference in the reference dialog, retrieve the attachment settings (Settings>Attachment Settings) and select the toggle at the bottom of the Attachment Setting dialog to "synchronize with Saved View "". and select OK. You should see the changes you applied to you DV definition. You may want to return the DV attachment state to be unsynchronized.

I dont't know if this helps but here is the step by step I use.
1. I make sure I am in hte model where the BV is created.
2. Open up my reference dialog box
3.Add the reference file
4. Look at the BV and that change is apparent
5. Then open your sheet with the reference of the BV
6. Open the reference dialog box
7. Double click on the attached reference file
8. Select the box for Syncronize view
That's it.

I'm not Eric, but... perhaps he means he attached the BV to a view window in the 3D model itself; i.e., created a "multi-model" view? I like this method for changing things in the 3D model and interactively seeing the results without having to switch models...

Hi Thomas,
BV = Building View, which is essentially a Dynamic View with additional building-specific attributes such as Part resymbolization, annotation, etc. You can tell one from the other when opening View Attributes - a Building View will have a "Building" tab at the bottom with tabs similar to DEM, such as Cut Plane, Forward, Back, Drawing Rules, etc.
Regarding the issue you're seeing... I'm not really sure. If the Synchronize option is checked on in Reference Attachement Settings (as outlined by Jeff), and the references being modified exist where the BV was created, everything should "just work". Have you tried creating a new BV to verify that the reference updates do in fact come through?
