NOTE Property overrides that are on xref layers are not retained when VISRETAIN system variable is set to 0.
Layer Property Overrides in Previous Releases
When a drawing containing layer overrides is opened in a previous release of the software, overrides are not visible and
the layer displays its global properties. The override settings are retained however when the drawing is saved in a
previous release, and are visible again when the drawing is re-opened in the current release.
If a viewport containing layer overrides is deleted when the drawing is opened in a previous release, the override settings
are not retained and are not available when the drawing is re-opened in the current release.
When VISRETAIN is set to 0 when the drawing is opened in a previous release, viewport overrides in xref layers are not
retained.
To override layer properties in a layout viewport
1
Make the layout viewport active for which you want to create viewport layer overrides.
2
Click Format menu
➤
Layer Management
➤
Layer Manager.
3
Scroll until you have the viewport overrides columns visible in the Layer Manager dialog box.
The following viewport overrides are available for layout viewports:
■
VP Color
■
VP Linetype
■
VP Lineweight
■
VP Plot Style
4
Click the desired setting to change the property value.
A layer value that is overridden in the viewport is marked by a different background color (light blue by
default) on the override property and on the global property.
5
Click OK.
Identifying Viewport Layer Overrides
There are a number of ways to identify layers containing overrides.
In the Layer Manager:
■
A background color displays for each override and for each corresponding global property setting. By default, it is
set to light blue, but you can change that to another color. For information on changing the background color,
see “Override Layer Properties in Viewports” in the AutoCAD help.
■
A different icon (
) displays in the Status column of the layer.
■
A tooltip displays property override information when the cursor is placed over the Status icon for the layer
containing overrides.
■
A predefined filter named Viewport Overrides is displayed in the tree view where all layers with viewport overrides
are listed.
