Using XREF dependent layers in the VPLAYER command

Hello Everyone,

Had trouble with freezing xref dependent layers in the VPLAYER command.

Please advise.

    I've never used the VPLAYER command before, but I tried it just now and it worked fine in my old v17. It seems like a cumbersome way to freeze layers in a viewport, though. I had to type the entire name of each layer, which for an Xref-based layer is usually long and hard to remember and can't be copied and pasted from the Layers tab of the Drawing Explorer.

    Why not just click on the VP-Freeze column in Drawing Explorer? Or, better still, create a layerstate with the target layers turned off, and then restore that layerstate in any viewport to make those layers frozen in that viewport.
