A working set is formed with the objects you have selected for editing. The
working set includes objects that can be saved back to update the xref or block
definition. When you save back changes, changes made to the objects in the
reference file are saved without actually opening the reference drawing or
recreating the block. The working set is visually distinct from the rest of the
current drawing: all objects in the current drawing, except objects in the
working set, appear faded. The
XFADECTL (page 1574) system variable controls
the fading of objects while you edit a reference in place.
You can select objects in xrefs for editing even if they are on a locked layer in
the reference file. When a reference object is part of the working set, you can
unlock the object's layer and make changes to the object. Only the changes
made to the object are saved back to the reference file; the xref layer remains
locked in the reference file.
NOTE
Objects outside of the working set are not faded unless the visual style is set
to 2D Wireframe during in-place reference editing.
