Reloading an x ref

[abetts]

While working in my topo drawing I used the "reverse" command to flip all my linetypes (water, over head wire, gas) to show correctly. My topo is x referenced into my utility drawing and my x reference lines will not flip. i have reloaded, i have closed and re opened, i have regenerated. No luck... Please help me solve this incredibly simple problem

I'm confused here - are you trying to edit your topo lines, while in the utility drawing?

reverse your lines in the actual DWG your referencing then save it and reload it where it's being used as an xref.

I know that Visretain will affect linetypes. I don't think it should affect line direction. But you can check this by temporarily renaming the layer the lines are on in the topo drawing, saving and reloading it in the utility drawing. If the lines change you know it's the Visretain variable, if not there is another issue.

If it is Visretain. The only thing to do, without loosing all your layer setting in utility, is to leave the layer renamed in topo. If it wasn't Visretain, undo the rename.
