I'm writing a class file which is supposed to have a global "draft" option. However, this option is inherited by all imported packages and causes e.g. graphicx to replace all images with boxes.

Is there a way, except renaming the option, to change that? E.g. by somehow unsetting the option after it has been processed by my class?

    you can of course (the list of class options is just stored in a macro which you could redefine) but probably you shouldn't: the fact that all packages see all document class options is a documented feature of the latex language. It would be better to name the class option something else if it is specific to the class. – David Carlisle Aug 03 '15 at 09:53
  • If you design a draft option, I don't see why this should conflict with graphicx draft -- if it is draft, then it's very convenient to drop the images as well –  Aug 03 '15 at 10:06
  • @DavidCarlisle Do you want to take any action here? – Johannes_B Mar 05 '17 at 15:22
  • @Johannes_B not really but as no one else answered I'll make my comment an answer, to get it off the list. – David Carlisle Mar 05 '17 at 15:33
