inserting 2 x same xref but with different layer-changes

I need to insert the same xref (not my own drawing) 2 times but with different changes to the layercolors and on-off layers.

I prefer to do this allready in modelspace due to the visibility of the xref and my own drawing.

Is this possible or should I make a copy of the xref and insert the copy as the second xref.

(I have 5 xrefs I need to insert 2 times)

Insert one and rename it in the Reference Manager. You will then be able to insert a second one with unique layer names.

That's correct.

What you get after referencing it several times is this listing in layermanager

|ref.filename1|layernnames

..

..

|ref.filename2|layernnames

..

..

The beauty of this is that you can have ONE model displayed and clipped in different ways on your drawing.

I use this for making drawings of phasing.

Thx,

I will try that
