The context help topic "Model space and paper space" says the following:

When you prepare a layout, you typically go through the following process:

...

- Set the orientation, scale and layer visibility of the view in each layout viewport.


However, it is not clear how to set different visibility for different layers in different paper space viewports. For example, lets say that I have Layer1 and Layer2 in the Model space. I have two paper spaces Layout1 and Layout2, each with one viewport showing the entire drawing. Where can I set that only Layer1 should be visible in Layout1 paper space and only Layer2 should be visible only in Layout2 space?


It appears that any changes to layer visibility affect the model space and all paper spaces.

Hi when you are in a viewport, you can go into the layer manager and "freeze" the layer, this only effects the currently opened viewport.

Be warned if you freeze the layer in the main model space it effects everything paperspaces and viewports.
