Not for what was used in the drawing before hand. Your best bet I think would be to create a user prefs macro for each user and run that when done or everyone just gets used to running theirs when they open a drawing they know someone else has edited last.
When I was first setting this up, I just made a little form that I had everyone fill out with their prefs so once I had my base code to the macro setup, I just changed the values for each user and made it into their own button in a drop down toolbar button. This form is a bit out dated but you get the idea.
