How do I copy all my line weights, colors and types from one layout to another?

[Anonymous]

So, I have a file that I've been working on for a while with about 12 page layouts.  I have all my pages with my desired line weights, colors, etc.  However, I recently received a new survey xref that has all new layers with different names.  I have meticulously gone through all 100 layers in one of my paper space layouts and changed all the lines to be just the way I want them.  I would like to now apply all my hard work from the one paperspace to all the others and I clearly am not asking the right questions because Google doesn't give me a solution.  Creating copies of the page layout I have fixed is not efficient since my other tabs are different paper sizes and orientation.  I thought I needed LMAN but that either isn't working or I don't know how to use it.  At a loss...TIA

Each layout has it's own unique set of layers and layer names?

No, they all use the exact same layers (some are turned off and some on but I want them all to be the same.

Sorry, but now I'm confused: a DWG only has one list of layers, and if you've change them already they are changed for all layouts.

Are you actually and truly just wanting each layout to plot with a different set of line weights instead? Then you need a separate plot style table for each layout if the content is not in viewports.

Explain more please. Maybe while you are not on your phone 🙂

No, the changes I refer to are in PAPER space (viewport) not model space. 

Ok, let me try to explain with a basic example since I guess I'm not communicating effectively:

I used to have an xref with an example of the following layers:

xref1_topo = brown, .5mm

xref1_Property Lines = pink, .3mm

xref1_Sidewalk = blue, .3mm

xref1_FaceOfCurb = red, .6mm

but now that the new xref has similar layers but they are called something else example would be:

xref2_topo

xref2_Property Lines

xref2_Sidewalk

xref2_FaceOfCurb

I had previously told all my layouts with corresponding viewports to make the layers be this (so this is printing representation in paper space not model):

xref1_topo = freeze

xref1_Property Lines = Color8, .25mm, dashed2

xref1_Sidewalk = Black, .15mm, continuous

xref1_FaceOfCurb = Black, .35mm, continuous

but after I deleted the first xref and now have attached the new one, all my work had been lost in each of the viewports because now each viewport shows the xref2 layers as they appear in model space (with crazy colors and thicknesses).

I have gone inside ONE layout viewport, gone through over 100 layers now telling which to freeze, which to leave on and all my styles and thicknesses the way I want them.  

xref2_topo = freeze

xref2_Property Lines = Color8, .25mm, dashed2

xref2_Sidewalk = Black, .15mm, continuous

xref2_FaceOfCurb = Black, .35mm, continuous

However, having to go through 100 layers x 11 layouts will take forever.  So my question is how do I save the layer printing representation that I have made inside my viewport layout 1 (ie which layers and how to represent them) in the other layouts for all my new xref2 layers? Does this make sense now?
