When I apply a layerstate, it permanently changes all non-xref layers. However, the xref layers seem to be in limbo: the properties are different, but in layer properties manager there are no xref overrides shown. The reason this matters is that when I reload the xref, all the properties revert to the original xref properties.
For example, in the original xref drawing, A-BLDG is set to cyan:
In the host drawing, I apply a layerstate which changes the xref layer A-BLDG to yellow and I get this:
However, there is no "xref overrides" layer filter, as you can see.
The only way to get an xref override is to manually select the layer and change the color to yellow, which results in this:
As you can see, once I do that, I get an actual xref override. As mentioned, I need the override, otherwise the xref layer reverts to the original color when I reload.
My layer settings are as follows:
VISRETAIN = 1
VISRETAINMODE = 2047
XREFOVERRIDE = 0
I understand that an easy fix would be to change VISRETAINMODE to 0, because then it won't even look at the original xref layer color. However, I want to keep VISRETAINMODE at 2047, because in general I want to sync xref properties which don't have overrides.
Any ideas?
