how to freeze items

when I am building my viewports in paperspace how do i freeze different
layers in different viewports


for example in paperspace one [ layout one ] i want to show certain layers
of a 3d solid model from paperspace , so i turn off the layers i dont want
to see and then i dimension in paperspace anfd plot

then in me succeding layouts i want to show different layers than in the
first layout tab , some the same some different , when i change them in the
second layout tab they change in the first , so if i want to replot it i
have to go back and forth changining layers on and off

i have no actual training just self taught
i am using autocad 2006
i am really new at paperspace
my drawings are all extruded solids of different weld farications , walkways
, stairs and such

any help or links to good tutorials would be appreciated



thanks william

THANK YOU

 

But, if I after doing this change something in MODEL with this layers, that
will not be changed in layout? Or am i not having wright?
I vill need something to do this. Because, i often change something in
model, and i need this changes have in layout also! Can you little describe
me this procedure please, because, from help I did not figure how to do
this?

Sorry about my english.

 

I'm not sure I understand your question, but if you freeze a layer in a
paper space viewport, that layer and everything in it will remain invisible
in that viewport. No matter what editing or additions you make in that layer
in model space, they will remain invisible in any viewports in which the
layer is frozen.
