[V8i] Automatically Reload Modified References

Hello,

Is there a setting that tells MicroStation to automatically reload modified references?  The "status" column in the reference manager already tracks this information, and provides awareness when a reference has been modified ("Has been changed - use reload").  I would simply like to give MicroStation the green light to reload automatically any time it sees a reference that's not up to date.  Right now, the best I've been able to come up with is the brute force "reference reload force all" key-in, which I'll tie into a frequent or time-dependent process unless there's a better setting out there.

Our workflow is typically one system per model per file.  Similar systems reference each other, and it's common that two or three users could be working on similar systems at the same time.  Therefore, when user A saves changes to system A, I'd like those changes to automatically show up on user B's system B model.

Thanks!

Ryan
