Controls the dimming for all DWG xref objects.

0
DWG xref objects are not faded.

>0
When the value is positive, controls the percent of fading up to 90 percent.

<0
When the value is negative, xref objects are not faded, but the value is saved for switching to that value by changing the sign.

2
Auto; always displays an outline of the object as you drag it
