    Default Layer States / Reconcile

    HELP! I am facing a deadline tomorrow, and I am having sudden difficulty with layers and reconcile for my x-refs. Everytime I open one of my drawings, I must reconcile all of the x-refs and turn certain required layers off / on, etc. These procedures do not save! If I save the drawing, close it and re-open, I must go through the same thing again!
    Any ideas? I did just get new x-ref files from my client - but what setting(s) might I have missed?

    Christopher:
    THANK YOU!!!!
    As it turns out, my client postponed the deadline (at 11:59 hour), but
    your tip DID fix the problem.
    Honestly, this is the first time I have posted that I received a response
    in a timely manner and it helped!
    If you were here, I'd buy a round.
    Thank you, again.
