I don't want the xref file set as overlay to be loaded. Is it possible?

If you load this file into another file, it will look like the following.
It is not loaded by setting it to overlay.

However, when I import it in Archicad

I don't want the xref file set as overlay to be loaded. Is it possible?
Or try not to import the xref files inside the dwg file you are importing.

Hi LeeJaeYoung,

In the XREF Manager, you can choose 'Attachment' vs 'Overlay'.

When I work with externally linked DWGs, I set up the XREF from within a Worksheet, not the AC model space. You can have all 2D functionality there without being in your AC model. (If you want to use the XREF to assist in developing your model, you can right-click on the worksheet and choose 'Show As Trace Reference", where it will be visible for modeling. Note: Be sure to set up a layer combination in the Worksheet view settings that will make the newly linked XREF layers visible from the model.)

Is it because the translation is wrong?
The manual was difficult for me to understand.
thank you ^^

All pens have red color.
How can I make it appear the same color as the pen?

If this is occurring on the worksheet, it may be your XREF Translator settings. There are several translator options and some control pen assignments as the DWG is brought in.

If this is occurring in the AC model view when using the worksheet as a trace reference, you can change this in the Trace Settings (one of the nice features of Trace).

thank you ^^
It seems to be a bug in Archicad 25 5010.
At 26 there is no problem.

Did you place that XREF on a Master Layout?

By default, elements placed on a Master Layout will appear with a single color on Layouts.

The color can be set and/or turned off using the "Use uniform color for Master Layout items on Layouts" checkbox and color picker field in the "On-Screen Options" page of the "Work Environment" Dialog.

1. I did it in an independent worksheet file.But I don't know if it's because I've been working on CAD files.When I tested again for the file you asked about, it came in black. I don't know why.
And the option you mentioned is more embarrassing because I know it too. ^^

2. This is a circular character.
At 26, the size decreases.
25 is not expressed.
Should this be made into another question?

Those characters not coming in properly in both AC25 and AC26 look like bugs to me. I will report this to Graphisoft for investigation.

ac25 : xref file in worksheet before saveas

ac26 : xref file in worksheet before saveas

I must have been through this ^^
In ac25, the attach xref file in the worksheet before saveas is shown only in red.
It's not like that in ac26

With saveas, it was in the desired state.
