freezing new layers in paper space layouts

[the ber]

i searched this site a bit for this problem, but i found only one thread, which was not answered. here goes:

i have some drawings with several different layouts. each layout has some layers frozen in that layout. this is so i can show only safety system wiring runs on one layout, room numbers on another layout, etc.
when i go to model space and add a new layer, it shows up in all the layouts, but i don't want it in all the layouts. so i have to go to each layout, unfreeze the viewport layer so i can select the viewport, go to properties and unfreeze the model space part of the layout, freeze the new layer for this layout, and reverse my steps. then on to the next layout....
there must be a better way to do this, because i'm sure there are people making drawings with many more layouts than mine. help?

btw, my terminology may not be quite correct, because i am working in germany with a german version of the program (autocad lt 2007).

hello cad64,

i tried your suggestion a little bit today. i think it's what i'm looking for, thanks. i need to practice some more to make it work better; this software has a pretty steep learning curve.
