Issue:
You have created a custom block with Attribute Text, and are using that with a Multileader Style, and when XREF’ing that drawing, the text reverts to Black and will only plot in black
The Grey object is a Multileader with a custom block, the green is the same block, simply inserted into the drawing. Both of these are XREF’d into the current drawing, which is why it appears this way.
Causes:
This issue comes from how the block is created, and how Multileaders handle that block reference
Solution:
The solution is actually very simple.
- Open the Block in the Block Editor
- Select all the objects/elements that make up the block
- In the properties palette, change the Color from ByLayer to ByBlock
- Close the Block Editor and save the changes
- Now when the block in the Multileader is used in an XREF, it will display correctly
