I'm in a drawing that has an xref. I want to know the layer that one of the lines within an xref is called, so i NX (nested xref)command the sucker.
Problem is though, the box that pops up which has the properties of the line in it (Object, Layer, Color, Linetype) won't show the full layer name if the layer name is longer than what the box allows for.
 
Is it possible to somehow stretch the box so that i can see the full layer name, or an alternative that lets me see the full name and not just the first 31 characters?
 
the details in the Layer field of this popup box is: "(xref name)|(layer name)" so it can often easily get past the 31 character limit that the textbox allows.
 
any ideas?

locate the file called XLIST.DCL right click and open with notepad, scroll down to where you see the item that i have made bold & underlined :
 
column {      : text {        key = "sObjectType";        //width = 35;        //fixed_width = true;      }      : text {        key = "sBlockname";      }      : text {        key = "sLayer";        width = 31;              Change this value to say 100      }      : text {        key = "sColor";      }      : text {        key = "sLineType";
 
save and close, use the xlist command and you should see the difference.  Note if you are using 2012 then this will need to be updated in a few locations within the xlist.dcl file.
