Forced color in a bloc not following when we attach the xref

cyberflow — Fri, 14 Feb 2025 15:55:59 GMT

Hi all,

So we've got a title bloc that has a bloc for a keyplan inside of it.

The colors are forced in that bloc (See right bloc on printscreen)

In this printscreen the left bloc is the one in the xref that is attached, the right one is the copy/pasted bloc.

The forced color isn't following up into the sheet drawing.

Viseretain = 1

Viseretainmode = 0

One thing too, when i create a new drawing it works fine with the bloc at the 23 color (light brown)

Not sure if there's an existing object that conflict or something.

Shouldn’t they both be 0 along with xrefoverride

Well ... i shouldve persue my research before posting the question !

In the layer settings this little setting changes that behavior

And its the : XREFOVERRIDE
