    Question Xref layer descriptions not updating

    I've added descriptions to layers in a drawing which was already used as a ref in another drawing,
    Is there a way to get them updated in the drawing where it's used as ref?
    I don't want to detach end re-attach it because layers are switched off (VP freeze) in the various layouts used

    I don't usually pay attention to layer descriptions so I don't know if it would work but..
    If you set visretain to "0" and then reload the xref(s) it may come through (and then set it back to "1").

    The problem is, it may cause you problems with layers being switched off etc that you're worried about anyway.
    Maybe save your layer states and re-apply them after?

    Tried the Visretain option already, it sets all back to basics except layer description
    and all layers are turned back on so I have to switch in the various layouts
