Hello,
I’m converting DWG to DWG using FME and I’m wondering if it’s possible to style the XREF data within the DWG. Specifically, I’d like to set it to True Colors with certain grey values.
Any guidance on how to achieve this would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance!
Hi
Great question! If you need to change the appearance of XREF data within a host DWG file, there are a few different approaches you could try:
A. Open and restyle the referenced XREF file directly within FME.
B. Merge XREF data into host DWG file and apply your styling on the new merged file. (Note: New file loses the XREF connection link.)
C. Use AUTOCAD's layer override XREFOVERRIDE system variable (=1) to have XREF inherit styling of the host DWG layer's properties they're attached to.

Hopefully this points you in the right direction and gives you a few options to test out. Feel free to share what worked for you and if you found another solution!
