Hi, all I want to do is import Xref which consist of lots of layers and colours and change to a light grey (only in host drawing) I would also like to turn on/off layers in the xref with out going through every single layer from other xrefs etc. Can anyone help this is my first post?

See the tip:
You can also assign a grey plotstyle to your xref layers to plot only in grey.

You are probably using the color-dependend plot style. Use the CONVERTPSTYLES command first - see:
