I have 4 viewports on one page within Paperspace each viewport needs some of the lines (layers) visible and the other viewports do not. How does one do this? I need each one "frozen" per se so that it does change when manipulating the lines in the other viewports (turning on or off, making bigger or smaller).

Activate the viewport, then use Layer Properties, look for the column VP Freeze, click on the layers you don't want to show.
This is how viewports in layouts work like that (from an almost identical post today):
Hi,
layers are global (in your dwg), but each viewport can "VP FREEZE" layers.
Layers which you need somewhere visible, have to be ON and THAW.
Now, go to your Layout, jump into one viewport (mspace) and open LAYER palette.
Search column VP FREEZE and use it.
But:
Viewports are just holes in a paper, so you can't have one and the same line in one viewport shorter than in another one , it is the same line!
If you need variants, you have to create copies of your objects
or you have to copy your file.

Thanks, then I think the DBlock needs to be recreated since the entire drawing disappears after I hide one of the layers. That is under VPFreeze.
