Level Overrides for individual reference files.

Can you set ONE reference file only to NOT accept Level Overrides in a master file with multiple references?  I cannot seem to make this happen.

I have a main sheet file - A1.  It contains 3 drawings, floor plan, reflected ceiling plan and an electrical plan.  Each of those references is a text file over the main floor plan file.  

Can I have the floor plan file only NOT accept level overrides while the other 2 are overriden?  Does that make sense?

Thanks!

  • I believe you can accomplish what you want. I just want to clarify you are using overrides and not by level.

    With the symbology set to overrides in the level manager, select the reference file you wish to turn off the overrides for. With it selected, the levels and overrides settings will display in the level manager. In each column for the color, style, and weight, do a right mouse click (not at the header but on a specific color, style or weight). When the options appear, select the "all overrides off" option and it will turn off the overrides for that column.
