I need to show two different linetypes in an Xref (solid for existing, dashed for existing to be demo'd). How do I show this? I have the Xref demo layers set for dashed, but they don't show up as dashed when I Xref the file in.

Any ideas?

If you mean by this that the layers in the original drawing are set as dashed then I would guess that you need to go to "Change - Spacing" and set it to 1.0 and select the xref. If the spacing of the xref is anything other than 1, the line spacings will not show the same as in the original file.

Another possiblility is that in the xref manager you have solid set as the linetype for the xref. If this is the case change it back to "Original".
