Layouts and layers

I have one drawing but I need to show different layers on different paper. For example on one paper has to be house plan with measures, on the other the same house but with interior, floors etc and no measures. How can I do that?

I have created all layouts needed and viewport scales set correct. When I make changes on one layout, changes will appear on all of them.

Like you said in your question Layers are what you need. In your model space make your diminsions,interior & floors all differant layers. Go to paper space and in each viewport turn off the layers that you do not want to show in that vieport. Do this with each of your viewports.

I have made layers for all different objects and everything is ok with that. I have tried to turn off the layers that I don't need in viewports. If I turn off layer on layout1, it turns the same layer off on layout2, 3, 4 etc too. That's the problem and I have no clue how to fix this.

Are you double clicking into the viewport and going to the little icon that lookes like a sheet of paper with a sun in the corner and selecting that?

I'm clicking into the viewport but I think I'm missing some steps, because I have no idea where the sunny button is or what is it called...

OK in your layer pulldown or in layer manager you will have three icons one is a light bulb, one is a sun the other is a square with a sun in the left bottom corner, this your viewport layer freeze. Look in help it will point you in the right direction.

Oh, you meant freeze option. It doesn't help either, same problem still.

Btw, CAD on Mac looks a bit different. There's no lightbulbs or suns, that got me confused.

Have you looked in the viewports that you don't want that layer to be frozen and unfreezing it? I am sorry but have never used a Mac.

Well, the design and buttons placement is different in Mac, but how Cad works is same.

I have tried freezing and unfreezing in viewports and different layouts but the function still applies to all layouts. I know showing layers should work this way but it doesn't. I have no idea where is the tricky part.

There are two freeze columns in the layer manager. One is "Freeze" and the other is "VP Freeze". If you want to freeze a layer inside a viewport, you need to click the icon in the " VP Freeze" column.

Here's a demo with two viewports side-by-side, but it works the same way if the viewports are on different layout tabs. Notice how the layer is only frozen in the layer I'm currently working in when I select "Freeze in current viewport"

Aah, thank you Cad64! Somehow I missed the VP Freeze thing.

I am sorry that my direction was not clear. This is what I wanted you to do all along.

It's ok and thank you for trying to explain.
