We are going into the viewport and freezing layers and even with visretain on the frozen layers are back on when the drawing is reopened.

well how do you have your xref's inserted, if they are attachements, and you have multiple nested xref references then the layers can get kinda funky. using overlays should fix the problem.

Thanks for your suggestion, but we are still having the problem, even with no nesting.
