Summary: Be able to use a SETVAR to preset a Layer for XREFs (Like layer Xref).
Description: Be able to use a SETVAR to preset a Layer for XREFs (Like layer Xref).
[] would use the current layer, but if a layer name was supplied, they would go to a default layer. you could still manually change them to any layer you wish, but it would help keep things organized - especially in a larger organization. If it was a SETVAR it could work in the Project Navigator, as well as vanilla AutoCAD.

While you wait, I suggest using this add-on. It will do what you're asking.

Easily done with lisp, a Tool Palette, or simply picking a layer for the xref. I often put each on their own layer to control them separately. Took no more time than setting a variable would.

Appears to be yet another duplicate thread; I just happened to answer the other this morning. *shrug*
