color management and thickness of new layers added to xrif

[andrea cax]

I would have a question about using xrifs.

you can set the display of all xrifs that are in a disgno so that their lines are printed of a certain color and thickness, especially when they are replaced.
I explain better, very often collaborate with a study that carries out the architectural part of the orders, following the plant design of the buildings very often happens that I work with non-definition xrifs and when I go to provide my tables to this study they replace xrifs with those in their possession, I would like that, even if they do this, xrifs are printed with certain properties chosen previously by me without having to communicate with them in reference
I have already tried to change colors and thicknesses from layers but when they make the replacement return the originals and I also tried to create a ctb where all colors are made gray and thickness 0.13 but some layers are set with color shades so I have not solved anything.

thanks in advance for possible answers

you have to set in your design the variable visretain = to 1. in this way the colors of the xrif layers that will be recharged will always be those set by you in the host design (the one designed by you with the plants).

thanks to the prompt response but I already knew this command, the problem is that if inside the xrif if I substute the name of a layer or create one again will not have the characteristics saved, I searched if anything a command that gave me the possibility as in the .pdf to put monochromatic or similar, then a command that acted on the totality of the layers contained in the xrif without taking into account if there are any new ones.

you had not specified that the issue concerned new layers added to the certain xrif, having xrifs to which new layers are added, especially when you think that the architectural design should be finished (see that you are already drawing the plants).... it is not the maximum - but happens to many.

thinking about your flight problem I might suggest you create an acaddoc.lsp file to copy in the system file folder (and then to provide the team you work with) that do this:
call the layer command and change the color to all layers that begin with the prefix ? to the name of the xrif (I hope that at least the name of the xrif file is known and invariable! ! ! )

(command "_layer" "_c" 251 "land floor"") if the xrif is called "land floor"

yes excellent answer and solution !!!!!!
