I recorded an action macro that changes the color of a number of xref layers. The result is that the layers do change to the color I selected, but layers in the xref which were turned off are subsequently turned on. I have visretain set to 1. Here is exactly what I recorded in the macro:
-layer
color
250

Has anyone experienced this?
BTW I am using Civil 3D 2014
Thanks
