how to freeze items

Question

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'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.___
