    Default XREF changes not showing

    Registered forum members do not see this ad.

    Hi all

    Im having trouble with an XREF. Its a site plan which has a lot of hatching so slows my drawing. When I modify the XREF file either by turning off/freezing hatch layers, or even deleting certain objects, the changes do not show in my drawings despite reloading the modified XREF when prompted by ACAD.

    Any idea why?

    I beg your pardon, if I add or delete objects they do appear or disappear. Its only the layer changes which aren't reflecting.
