Permanently Freeze/Hide Layers in the XREF file
I'm trying to permanently freeze/hide layers in my xref file so they don't appear in my drawing files. These are layers that none of my drawings will use so I want to freeze them one time in the xref file instead of freezing them in each of my drawing files. How can I do this and if I can't do this why isn't this possible yet?
Thanks,

Start command VISRETAIN and press [F1], read about the system variable VISRETAIN and VISRETAINMODE in your help.

You can choose
VISRETAIN = 0
or
VISRETAIN = 1 and VISRETAINMODE <your setting without bit 1 & 2>
Turn off the layer into your external file
or
VISRETAIN = 1 and VISRETAINMODE <your setting with bit 1 & 2>
Turn off the layer into your "masterfile" f

My CAD drafter says she tried that and it didn't work. Looking at the help menu, it says "Controls visibility, color, linetype, lineweight, and plot styles." Would Freeze/Unfreeze be included in this list or is it just what is listed?

[F1]-Key will pop up the program help
VISRETAINMODE (if VISRETAIN is set to 1)
Just test with a copy of the file:
dwgA as XREF in dwgB, set visretain=0.
Now you can controle Layer freeze/thaw in dwgA
