I have a plant layout with equipment, I would like to fix walls etc so whenever we are moving with equipment we dont accidently endup moving walls.

You can create a new layer for your xref then put it on that layer and lock the layer. You can lock the layer by clicking the lock symbol in layer properties palette, ribbon button, or laylck command.

Click on the xref in your drawing and on the properties palette you can change the layer
