    Default whiparc and xref fade

    Registered forum members do not see this ad.

    Greetings,

    If I have XDWGFADECTL set to something other than 0 and set WHIPARC to 1, the arcs in xrefs show up without any fading. Does anyone have a thought for a solution to still have those xref arcs apply the fading with Whiparc set to 1?

    Thanks.

    Why do you need WHIPARC set to 1?

    Hi rkent,
    it's not mandatory to set it to 1, just preferred. Mainly, it just cuts down on the regens. I do a lot of detail work, so I am moving back and forth from large land plan views down into tiny little inches. I was just curious if anyone knows of a way to make these two settings work together; otherwise, I'll just leave whiparc off....or turn of the xref fade....

    AFAIK only solution is WHIPARC=0
