There is a call in the acedb kernel to automatically
update all coordinates in touched objects up and down the hierarchy
provided they are declared withe the modifier COORD in the
ace model
however, this call is not included in any public interface
and my self i never use it
so i cannot garantee the reliability, but i beleive it works
this means that to use this call you would have to write some c
code
if there is demand, you could trigger the interest of the cambridge
group to add that public interface but just now, i could not
spare the needed time for this, sorry
