In my Dwg I have 6 layers say "A,B,C,D,E & F".
In the same dwg I have 6 Layouts say "A,B,C,D,E & F".

My problem is,
In layout "A", I want to display only layer "A", remaining layers to be turned off.
In layout "B", I want to display only layer "B", remaining layers to be turned off.

respectively for all layouts.

While switching to one layout to another layout, visibility of layers should not disturb in same time.

Anyone can help me. advance thanks,

You can use VPLAYER command to select objects to freeze in each viewport
Or if this a repetetive process , you can create 6 script files say "A,B,C,D,E & F.scr" and run each script in its approriate viewport



For example, you can edit A.scr file as follows:





VPLAYER
F
B,C,D,E,F

this will close all layers in layout A except layer A
and so on for the remaining viewports

Thank you for ur reply,
VPLAYER working set layer visisbility for different viewports in a single layout;
I asked for set layer visibility in different LAYOUTS (not for VIEWPORTS)
Pls suggest me some answer.

Are you asking for different layer control in the different layout paperspaces?

If the entities are in model space, they will be in different viewports, and the VPLayer command is the route to take.

In my understating, even if the entities are in paper space. VPLAYER command acts the same way

true, a paperspace layout is a viewport.

but if I have multiple layouts, and don't want to see Paperspace information for other layouts, I just wouldn't put it in!

1- click on your Viewport and from there click on layer manager to control the layers that you want on and off, look at VPfreeze, this will turn on and off only in that VP.
2.- Using the LM Layer State Manager, you can create a layer state that shows only some group of layer, ie. demo layers or contrucion layers, with this option you can control what you wanna see in each VP.

This is the thing exactly I required.
Thank you for your suggestion;
