AutoCAD 2019 Demolition Plans - need a refresher please

Hello all, sorry for the silly question but I cannot seem to find a good answer and its been 8-10 years since I have touched AutoCAD so I need a refresher on how to work a few things.

 

I am working on a "retrofit" so I am working off old drawings (someone else was the prior draftsman) and I cannot remember how to work DEMO plans correctly.

 

The "base plan" is drawn in model space, and then an xref into the DEMO plan where I will be working this retrofit.  A viewport has been set up on the sheet to show our plan view in paperspace.

 

My question is, how do I set half of this xref file to a DEMO layer and half to an EXISTING layer, but still keep the original layer properties from the original project intact?  I don't want to destroy the original approved and sealed project (obviously), but I just absolutely cannot remember how to accomplish this because its been so long since I have worked CAD (been on CREO for years) that my brain won't wrap around it.

 

File structure is as follows:

 

ORIGINAL PACKAGE>"BASE PLAN"

BASE PLAN is xref to RETROFIT PACKAGE sheet AD01 of NEW RETROFIT PACKAGE

 

How do I keep the original package looking as is, while allowing the retro sheet to take the DEMO and EXISTING layer properties?

 

 

 

Thank you and again, sorry for the stupid questions, I just cannot find an answer and have been searching for two hours now.

 

Have a great rest of your week!

 

 

 

Mike

Can't you just create layers that meet your needs?  New, existing, and demo.  Show the new stuff in bold solid line work, the existing in faded solid line work (color 8 perhaps), and the demo stuff in broken bold line work.  Then just move the appropriate elements to the appropriate layers.
