Save All Command

I wish there was a Save All command to save all open drawings with on click.

That could optionally trigger Reference updates for files.

Absolutely. For a long time now I've been trying to imagine a time when I would not want to updated a referenced file, and I could come up with none.

How about when the referenced file is 2Gig in size and you know that the changes to the referenced file are not big enough to care about right now and you don't want to have a 5+ minute delay while the reference is brought in? 😉

That is why it's optional. 

But if you don't care why did you open a 2Gig file to do non-critcial updates while trying to hit a deadline?

That's never been a problem for me. So what this might mean is that the auto-update from the referenced file could be optional in a setting.
