imageframe in an xref

[davidm889]

I have an image in an xref and when I plot, the frame shows up. I have imageframe turned off in both the reference drawing and the drawing I'm plotting from. any ideas? It works for one of my drawings, but not the rest.

Is the same image in the one that works fine?

yes, it's a title block with the clients logo. It plots fine on the first sheet I x-refed it into, then I used that layout as a template for other drawings in the set, those are the ones that don't plot. I tried to detatch and reattach, but still does it.

For those who are still looking for an answer, I saw this in another post and it worked for me.  Apparently setting IMAGEFRAME to 1, then back to 0 works.

"Turning them on (setting IMAGEFRAME to 1) (even though they were already on) and turning them off again (turning IMAGEFRAME to 0) worked for me.  Thx! "

I had the same problem, and when i read this fix i re-opened my drawing and found that Imageframe was set to 1 (even though I had just meticulously reset it to 0 in both the XREF and the problem drawing and re-saved).  

changing it from 1 to zero in this new drawing worked fine.

Thank you!  You just saved me time and my sanity.  I was going crazy trying to figure out what was wrong with my drawing.

8 years later, it is still the correct answer.

doesn´t work for me. Any fresh solution?

Found a sollution.

Change de System variable of VISRETAIN and XREFOVERRIDE to 0. Don´t understand why but it works.

[LyleHardin]

Be careful with VISRETAIN = 0 . If people change things in the xref, it's going to change in the dwg that uses the xref. We keep VISRETAIN = 1 so people can control what things look like in their own drawing.
