Does x-reference work in ACAD?

Hello.
I'm using BricsCad (Intellicad) and am having a very bad time with x-reference drawings. The program forgets linetypes and sometimes color.
Should I bite the bullet and shell out for ACAD?

Why not? Autocad handles X-refs very well.

More details in longhand, please. Do you know about the VISRETAIN system variable?

It has problems with xrefs? That is surprising, I had some limited use with Intellicad and didn't notice that. Does Intellicad have a "visretain" variable and if so are you using it? In acad, this variable controls whether changes to layer settings in an xref are remembered the next time the parent drawing is opened.

Yes. BricsCad has visretain. I'm studying what it does right now. Here's a great resource, for anyone unfamiliar: http://www.markcad.com/autocad/tutorials/xrefs.htm Thanks, VM

After going through the tutorial, it seems that visretain has no effect in BricsCad, in the current release. VM
