Updating linetypes on xref model.

[Bob658]

I have an model with xref's in it. All of the xref's have a series of layer with assigned linetypes. However when some of the xref models where brought in, some of the layers lost there original settings for the linetypes and have reverted to continuous. Is there anyway I can reload the layer linetypes without going through them one at a time.

This is a sample the list in the original file.

 

This is a sample after it was xrefed in

Hope that makes sense.

See this page from Autodesk. Check the value of the system variable VISRETAIN in the destination drawing and make sure it's set to 1. Reload the other drawing if necessary. If it's 0, your overrides won't persist once you close the drawing.

 

If that doesn't solve the issue, check the value of XREFOVERRIDE and make sure it's set to 1. You may have to make some changes to the other drawing, such as changing linetypes to ByLayer or moving objects to a layer besides 0.

 

If that doesn't help, look into the VISRETAINMODE variable.

Thanks VISRETAINMODE helped. Didn't even know it existed.
