What are xref overrides?
You can change or override the visibility, color, linetype, and other properties of an xref’s layers and define how you want those changes handled when the xref is reloaded. Use the VISRETAIN and VISRETAINMODE system variables to get the desired behavior for the xref layer properties in the host drawing.
How do I GREY out an xref in AutoCAD?
You can use the layer manager, set the filter to XREF-layer and assign all layers a light grey color, so all geometry objects within the XRef will be displayed in the light grey as long as they were drawn with color = bylayer.
