I don't know why I'm having so many issues with 2020LT but it seems a lot of things are not as easy as they used to be, not sure if its because none of my old setting moved over or what...
I'm in paperspace, I added "viewport1", simple. I add viewport2. For some reason I can see everything under that in viewport1. I don't want to see anything behind viewport2.
Why am I having so many problems trying to achieve this simple task?
Must have been a different program or I've completely forgotten how to use this one. I don't remember having to come up with a go-around to stack viewports before. Must have done it at some point if that's the case. Maybe it was a dream that made me think something so easy would be so simple... sorry to bother.
Why don't you ask how people are accomplishing this since it's never worked the way that you describe it?
I posted a workaround in Civil 3d forums, so I will copy it here:
Hey!
Sorry to bring this thread back, but I found an interesting solution that doesn't need any changes to the viewport.
What I did to work this thing around was draw a rectangle around everything I drew - in the model tab, of course - and use a solid hatch on it. Then, I use the "hatchtoback" command to make it stay behind the drawing. Now, since there is a solid color behind everything, it will also show in the viewport, covering everything behind it.
As you can see in the images, the larger circle is a viewport that is displaying the same thing as what is behind it, but the lines do not overlap because of the hatch.
I hope it can be useful to someone.
