Trouble with multiple viewports and viewport layer freeze

kristinabhalter · ‎08-15-2016

If I have a layout with multiple viewports, I cannot consistently freeze a layer in one viewport and not the others. It may work one time, but upon switching back and forth from model space to paper space, the layers don't stay frozen. I am trying this with dimension layers.

Hi,

Have you tried to use LAYFRZ command?

Activate viewport, click on Freeze Layer button on the Layers palette, than verify settings, they should be set to Vpfreeze:

Command: _LAYFRZ
Current settings: Viewports=Off, Block nesting level=None
Select an object on the layer to be frozen or [Settings/Undo]Settings
Enter setting type for [Viewports/Block selection]Viewports
In paper space viewport use [Freeze/Vpfreeze] <Freeze>: Vpfreeze
Select an object on the layer to be frozen or [Settings/Undo] <- select object on the Layer you want to freeze here
Layer "XXXXX" has been frozen in this viewport.
Select an object on the layer to be frozen or [Settings/Undo]
Command:

I usually use the buttons in the layer manager to control the options. I
will try the LAYFRZ command to see if I have different results.

Thank you.
