Currently our standard is to take the Site Plan(A) and Topo(B) and reference these into our Base(C) drawing. The base is then referenced into our sheet drawing(D). Formatting to our company standard is completed in the Base drawing as layer overrides.
The basis for this method is that we receive multiple versions of a site plan throughout a project by updating the reference search path to the newest site plan version the layer overrides are maintained and it reduces time spent formatting.
The problem I am having is when I update layer overrides in drawing 'C' and reload this reference in drawing 'D' the changes aren't coming through..
1. is there a way to bring these layer changes into drawing 'D' (i thought visretain set to 0 and reloading the reference would work but no luck)
2. Is there a better method to accomplish this - I'm not a fan of nested references.
