Help with Setting Xref Layers in Viewport

[Domzinator]

Hi All i am trying to do the following:

1. User Selects Viewport.
2. All Xref Layers in the Selected viewport needs to be set to truecolor 128,128,128

i have been trying with using Command "vplayer" but this changes all layers to 128,128,128

(defun c:Demo (/ vp)
  (if (setq vp (car (entsel "\nSelect Viewport")))
    (command "_Vplayer"	"Color" "TrueColor" "128,128,18"  "*|*" "_Select" vp "")
  )
)

The clue to do this properly with AutoCADs builtin Vplayer command is shown in @pbejse portion of the lisp code

(command "_Vplayer"	"Color" "TrueColor" "128,128,18"  "*|*" "_Select" vp "")

 Note the layer name pattern used:

"*|*" 

This tells AutoCAD to only apply the color change to xref layers which are the only ones that contain a vertical bar “|” character in the layer name

I assume you’re asking how to remove a vplayer color assignment:

”Using VPLAYER
The VPLAYER command includes the hidden keyword option reMoveoverrides. This keyword is not in the list of options, but if you enter M at the initial VPLAYER prompt, you'll get a sub-prompt of options to remove one or all types of layer property overrides. You can choose which layers and viewports from which to remove these overrides.”
