Level display settings keep reverting

There are a lot of possible settings that could be affecting this.

One of the first can be the design file setting REFLEVELOVERRIDES.

Look at your Attachment Settings. one of those is "Display Overrides". Always will allow you to change level display for this reference. Never will always resync your level display back to the base file.

If you have made changes to the level display of your reference in the sheet file, you have broken the reference control of level display. Changes made to level display in the reference will not carry over to the sheet.

Are these nested references or direct attachments?

Since this is a sheet drawing, it may be created with a Saved View reference, and that may need to be updated.

override didn't work, the references are not nested either. I have been avoiding changing any level displays in the sheet. if i use "global freeze" it seems to fix it?

since you are trying to avoid changing the level in the sheets - I assume you are opening the referenced file and changing the levels there ? and then going back to the sheet - expecting to see these level changes ?

No i am turning levels off f the references within the drawing, which then revert as soon as i navigate to the sheet models and back

just to clarify - you have a master drawing that contains references and you are making changes to these references levels from the master drawing. You then have a sheet file with the master drawing attached as a reference and what you want is to see the level changes you made in the master drawing, in your sheet file - correct ?

When you go back to the master drawing from your sheet, are the level changes still there ?

In your sheet file, could you tell me what the "display overrides" is set to for the referenced master drawing ?

This is my drawing - with the referenced files. display overrides is greyed out. I am turning layers on and off with the level display in this view. I am using name boundaries which are creating the sheets. The only way I have figured out how to retain settings in the default view is to use global freeze.

this is what my sheet model looks like - with display overrides set to always
