1) Block defined in “layer 0” with layer characters configuration as “ByLayer”:

The layer characters of inserted block would be the same as current layers (Ignore layer 0 configuration of inserted file).


2) Block defined in “layer 0” with layer characters configuration as “ByBlock”: 

The layer characters of inserted block would be the same as the inserted layers (Ignore layer 0 configuration of inserted file).


3) Block defined in arbitrary layer (including layer 0) with specific character configuration: The layer characters of inserted block would be the same as original layers character of this defined block.


4) Block defined “non zero layer” with layer characters configuration as “ByLayer”: The layer characters of inserted block would be the same as current layers’


5) Block defined “non zero layer” with layer characters configuration as “ByBlock”: The layer characters of inserted block would be the same as current layers’


Note: If the block is defined with color, line type etc. These configurations of inserted objects would be remaining. Besides, we could also modify the layer attributes (such as “open & closed”, “freeze & unfreeze”) of inserted block via a system variable “VISRETAIN”: ON-> Enable the change of layer attribute of x-ref block, OFF-> Disable the change of layer attribute of x-ref block.
