I have a base floor plan with a demolition layer with hidden2 line type and color yellow assigned to it. We have wall and door styles with components located on layer 0 and line types and colors set to 'by layer'. In the base plan, everything represents properly with the demo object having the hidden2 line type. see screenshot

When I xref the base plan, the wall and doors on the demo layer no longer represent with dashed line type. and the walls are white. See second screenshot. Annotation leaders point to items on demolition layer. Ltscale and psltscale are both set to (1) in both files. Both files are using the same display representations (standard). Visretain is turned on. I detached and reattached xref file to no effect. I recreated the file from scratch. The problem exists in any file I create, and attach, or overlay the xref. Another user can set up a drawing and xref the same file, and it all works fine. What Autocad setting/command am I missing?
