7. Start the XREF command to open the External References palette.
Right-click on the 14A-FPLAY1 reference and choose Reload.

have updated in the current drawing.
8. Set the VISRETAIN variable back to 1 , and open the Layer States Manager
once again.

log box. Uncheck the Lineweight check box, as shown in Figure 15.29,

10. Repeat steps 2 through 9 on the A-200.dwg and C-101.dwg sheet files.
To avoid overwriting the lineweights just loaded into the A-100 sheet file, you
chose not to restore the Lineweight property from your 15-LayerBackup layer
state. Had you chosen to restore this property, the lineweights in your drawing
would have been set back to Default. A drawback to this method is that any view-
port layer overrides you created have been reset to match the properties of that
layer in model space.
