copy viewports to multiple drawings

[twox2]

Hello,

Is there a way to copy a viewport with all its layers setup from one drawing file to another drawing file?

I can copy the viewport and activate it, but the layers setup for that viewport goes to default. So it turns everything on.

I can't make a layer state in the old file and import in new file, because the new file does not have all the same layers.  So not all my layers would be turned off in the viewport.

thanks

I'm not sure how it'll work between drawings but within the same drawing if you make a block of the viewport it'll retain it's freeze/thaw settings.

I don't know if 2011 still has the option, but on 2008 you can use the Design Center to add a layout to the current drawing that i'm in.  There's not a simple copy/ paste option that i know of.

Yes, it's still a feature through 2012.
