Nope, it's XDWGFADECTL.

XFADECTL controls fading during REFEDIT.

From Help:



XDWGFADECTL

Type:Integer
Saved in:Registry
Initial value:70

Controls the dimming for all DWG xref objects.
The valid XDWGFADECTL system variable value is between -90 and 90. When XDWGFADECTL is set to a negative value, the Xref Fading feature is not turned on, but the setting is stored.

0 DWG xref objects are not faded.

>0 When the value is positive, controls the percent of fading up to 90 percent.

<0 When the value is negative, xref objects are not faded, but the value is saved for switching to that value by changing the sign.
