    VISRETAIN setting perhaps, if the problem is strictly limited to XREFs?

    I am having the same problem.  I cannot get the Drawing to retain the modified layer properties.  There are some layers I want to turn off in the viewport.....I freeze them as soon as I close the drawing and repoen it, they reapear!!  I have tried VISRETAIN set to 1......

     

    ...please help!
