owlie Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 I have a strange problem with some xrefs and I don't know why it is suddenly happening on a few of my drawings. The xrefs have been successfully loaded in my drawings with no issues until now. I have an xref that is loaded as an overlay, in the xref manager it is there yet in the drawing it is invisible. Yet if I click in some blank space on where the xref should be it appears visible and then disappears as soon as I escape! I know it's loaded - its just as if it's loaded behind everything else and it makes the geometry in the drawing all jagged and out of sorts ?! I've tried bring to front command and detaching and reloading it but to no avail. Any ideas? Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLW210 Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 Have you checked the layer properties of the Xref's layer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
owlie Posted April 19, 2013 Author Share Posted April 19, 2013 All the layers in the xref filter are on, unfrozen and unlocked. I have xref fade set to 90. I did notice if I turn the 2d model space background colour to white (from black) then the xref shows. However, it only shows it in black, then when I click on it it turns back into its proper colours and appears faded out. I can just start again with another drawing, but it's bugging me and I'd like to know why it's happening Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dadgad Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 Try changing your visualstyle to 2D Wireframe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
owlie Posted April 19, 2013 Author Share Posted April 19, 2013 Thanks, however the visualstyle was already 2D wireframe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dadgad Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 Are those layers locked perhaps? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
owlie Posted April 19, 2013 Author Share Posted April 19, 2013 Nope, everything is unlcoked, on and thawed, like wise for all layers in the xref file itself. It's a mystery! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dadgad Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 They aren't object or layer isolated are they? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobDraw Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 With XREF Fade control set to 90, the XREF should be quite dark, at 0 it there is no fading or do I have that backwards? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLW210 Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 Fade = 0 will be dark, Fade = 90 will be barely visible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
owlie Posted April 22, 2013 Author Share Posted April 22, 2013 OK I found the solution, fade must be set to 0 and transparencydisplay at 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
