Is it possible to change the layer color of an Xref file?

Is it possible to change the layer color of an x-ref'd file? I have a facility layout/background that was drawn in blue and would like to show as grey in a different file without modifying the original....

Hi

Assuming Bylayer was used in the original drawing file...

* Xref in the original drawing file.
* Open Layer Properties Manager.
* Select the Xref Layers -> Change colour to suit.

Also look up VisRetain ( within the AutoCAD Online Help File "F1" and via a forum search (http://forums.augi.com/search.php?) ).

Have a good one, Mike

Hi

Plus, try plugging the following into the forum search (http://forums.augi.com/search.php?) facility...

Key Word(s): *Xref* + Color
