xrefs are gray

[Anonymous]

We have been using Release 18 for a while now.

My ONLY complaint so far is that any of the xrefs show up as gray lines in Paper Space.

These gray lines print black, but, these gray lines get hard to see when there's a lot going on.

Is there some setting that I'm missing that will display these xref lines as black on the display?

Check to see if there are any layer overrides applied to the viewports.

HI,

i suggest to check XDWGFADECTL system variable . 

0	DWG xref objects are not faded.
>0	When the value is positive, controls the percent of fading up to 90 percent.
<0	When the value is negative, xref objects are not faded, but the value is saved for switching to that value by changing the sign.

Excellent suggestion Imad, that would of been the next option to check.
