	Fading xrefs in AutoCAD.
	If you want to dim (fade) all drawing objects coming from attached Xrefs (both the model- and paperspace), set the `XDWGFADECTL` variable to a higher value. And vice-versa: the zero or negative value of this variable displays the xref-layers (external references) in a normal standard way (not dimmed, faded, milky).
