Xref Help!

[kurtis.pepler737654]

Not sure if this is a simple problem, or an error in my drawing, or simply me being stupid.

I'm currently working on a large project with many xrefs, layers etc...
And many refer to each other, before being put onto the sheets for issue.

Current problem i have happens after i create an entirely new layer in the xref.
Throughout the xrefs i'm currently using all the information, and what's drawn shows up and is all fine.

But when i try to reload the xref within the sheet, it's not there..
The new layer i created is, and it's not frozen, or on a non-printable layer.
It's just not showing anything that's on that layer..

I have no idea what's going on, and hopefully I've explained this enough to make some sort of sense.

Please help. =(

Regards,
Kurtis

Set VISRETAIN (http://help.autodesk.com/view/ACD/2016/ENU/?guid=GUID-897B1672-4E09-42E0-B857-A9D1F96ED671) to 0, reload the xref, then set VISRETAIN back to 1.

Set VISRETAIN to 0, reload the xref, then set VISRETAIN back to 1.
...but note that will wreck any layer modifications that you've made _to_ xref layers, while in the parent drawing.

So in the child drawing, you are making a NEW layer, not just adding objects to an existing layer that did not contain objects before? Is this right?

When you go back to the parent drawing, are you looking for the objects in Model Space?

Are you using the unreconciled layers concept (https://knowledge.autodesk.com/support/autocad/learn-explore/caas/CloudHelp/cloudhelp/2016/ENU/AutoCAD-Core/files/GUID-A6A7D6F4-5AAB-431D-AA3C-77B663AAD9D9-htm.html)?

You might also want to check for Viewport Overrides, or Layer States configured to 'turn off layers not found in layer state'.
