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.

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?

Thomas Voghera: Hi Steve reg DV/BV - I know what it does, but what IS it. What is it made of? Not a file somewhere- right? A bunch of settings in the composition Model - right? I'm not a developer so I can't give you the technical jargon, but the way I look at it you have: 1) A Saved View utilizing a Display Style, which is 2) Referenced into a 3D model, forming the actual "Drawing View", which is then 3) Referenced into a sheet model, which is the end result. From that sheet model you can also generate sections, details, etc., which are essentially "peripheral" Drawing Views extracted from a "core" Drawing View. This all my personal description, of course. :) Granted, the above is a simpllistic explanation, and there are settings that come into play with the creation and management of Drawing Views. Such as the Synchronize Attachment option which for some reason does not seem to be working for you... But why, I honestly do not know. Have you tried creating a new BV to verify whether the changes you made are reflected from the start?

Sounds good, Thomas. Definitely let us know how you make out!
