You need to regenerate the member file, then the drawing view will update.

By regenerating you mean the "Rebuild All" command, right?

Nope, expand the table and RMB on the member and generate files.

Thanks a lot, Randy!
That worked very well.
(I'm not very familiar with the iAssembly/iPart features of Inv. Would you know where I could find a good tutorial for this?)

Thx,

Try a Google search for Autodesk Iparts.

It will bring up several links that take you to exercises and podcasts that will give you the basics.
Iparts and iassemblies don't play too well with vault so you might try driving your parts with excel spreadsheets if you are using vault. Some people have had success creating "update assemblies" where they put an instance of each member into an assembly file to keep everything up to date but I have gone almost exclusively to using spreadsheet driven parts.

Hope this helps.

Thanks for the info Randy!
It looks like our company will move on to Vault in the future, so I'll keep this in mind.
