Keeping Xref's color in Naviswork

[Ildan]

Hi,

I'm trying to figure out this but I don't find : I need to change colors on a dwg file and to see them changed on Navis.

Let me explain :
- I'm gonna receive several .dwg every weeks, same name but updated (ex : 1.dwg, 2.dwg, 3.dwg)
- I'm planning to xref all the .dwg (ex : Xref.dwg) on the same drawing to change the layer's colors I need (with Visretain : 1, I'm gonna keep the modified color) 

My problem is when I append Xref.dwg, it takes the colors from the layer's originals files (1.dwg, 2.dwg, 3.dwg).

Does any of you know how to do it?

Thank you

Ildan

Hi there, I suspect that you cannot change the layer's color for the xref's dwg. So you still get the original color of xref's dwg. Thanks, -Xuesong

Thank you for your answer.

Actually I managed to change the color on the xref. It goes well till it's on autocad (xref with colors I need, updating my xref's model with new models keeping the custumed colors).

But when I append it on navisworks, the drawing source is the xref's model but the layers source is the original model.

It means that even if I append only xref.dwg on Navisworks, then I change layers's color on the original files (let say 1.dwg), without opening xref.dwg the colors gonna change as the original file when I update Navisworks.

Thank you
