    Default Using multiple viewports

    Greetings.
    I wonder if anyone can help me in utilizing multiple view ports. I've tried to set up dual view ports with each having different layers showing. However, when I turn on/off a layer it does it in both view ports. How can I do one without effecting the other? I would love to figure this out so I could show demo and finish on the same plan.

    Thanks in advance

    How are you "turn(ing) on/off a layer"?

    You can...
    (1) Use the VPLAYER command
    (2) Use the Layer Manager, making sure you are IN the viewport, and then use the VPFreeze column to freeze the layer.
    (3) Use the Layer Freeze command (LAYFRZ) making sure the option to do a VP Freeze is enabled.
