IV96408: WHEN PUBLISHING DRAWINGS XREF LAYERS DO NOT MAINTAIN THE DISPLAY STATE IN THE GRAPHICS SECTION

APAR status

• Closed as fixed if next.

Error description

• When publishing a drawing with Xrefs the display state of the
  layers for XREF layers is not carried over to the Graphics
  section.
  The base drawing layers do maintain their state when published.
  
  A couple related things.
  1. If there are no layer configurations or active ones the
  default behavior seems to be that the base layers will display
  as they were in the drawing at the time of publishing.  The
  Xref layer will all display regardless of display state at time
  of publish  Is this the desired functionality?
  
  2. There does not seem to be a way to save the graphics section
  display of layers.  When you open the graphics section it
  displays based on the state of the last publish.  (I'll be
  looking into this further and will likely open a separate L3
  request.  There should be a way to save the Graphics section
  image.)
  

Local fix

• No
  

Problem summary

• First, the act of modifying a reference to elements of an
  unmodifiable collection in a map was not persisting on
  drawing's member. Resolve this by modifying the elements
  directly.
  Second, since we do not persist the xrefLayerInfos in the
  database, the result of the resolve xref processing on/off
  state were never retained. To compensate this, the code that
  reads the drawing from the database also calls set XRef Layer
  State From Main Layer via resolve External References in the
  Platform. In this case, we are always "resolving xrefs" when
  instantiating a drawing, whether on publish, or reload from
  database. However, once we remove the XRefLayers, the code that
  builds out the xrefs using the state from the main drawing
  layer no longer works. Resolved this by removing the code that
  removes the XRefLayers. Now xrefs layer states and colors based
  on the main drawing are retained when publishing a drawing.
  

Problem conclusion

• XRef layers' display state and color are correctly retained
  when publishing to the Graphics Section.
  This is targeted to the 1h2017 Platform Release.
