If I use AMEXPLODE the override works fine. I tried to change the VISRETAIN setting but nothing happen. Why viewport overrides doesn't work with standard parts (holes, bolts, nuts, others..)?

Or is that just me? Is it possible that this technique does not work with layers within blocks? Or is that just me?

Some other things to investigate is the VISRETAIN variable. Also I have solved a very large number of issues like this one using the RECOVERALL command to make sure my drawing (and the drawings referenced into it) are free of errors. Hope that helps you!

The light-blue means someone has overridden the properties of that layer. Since it's so easy to fall into the trap of accidental overrides, I personally recommend to ALWAYS manage your layers from model space. Managing layers is in my opinion the safest method of layer management. Unless it's a special circumstance, I don't even use the freeze by viewport option. Instead I create a file for each "layer configuration". If you double-click into your viewport and open the Layers palette do you see any layers with a light-blue background?

I can freeze by viewport but when I change layer or color it does not show up on my screen. Plot preview does not pick it up either. Even more frustrating, others in my office can open the same drawing and see the changes I made. I however cannot. I am running 2009.
