Hi @alastair_leith ,
You asked a lot of questions in your post, sometimes it's hard to understand what you're asking, but anyway...
>>>......the model (which is at 1:1) is showing at a scale very different to 1:10.
Why do you think that the scale is very different? Please share the drawing with this issue.
>>>>When I click on the viewport of this correctly working Layout, I get some info in the top left corner (see image)
Yes, when you switch to model space inside viewport on the Layout, you should see in-canvas viewport controls - This is normal.
>>>>when I duplicate this Layout then click on the viewport, it highlights in a different way, with coloured selection anchors on the corners.
Yes, when you select viewport AutoCAD should show grips at the corners of the viewport the same way as on other objects (line, circle, polyline, etc.)
>>>>When I pan the whole layout page moves, not the contents of the viewport in relation to the page.
If you are in Paper Space on Layout tab and use PAN command, AutoCAD pans the whole Layout, but not the contents of the viewport. This is normal.
>>>>When I double click the viewport boundary Autocad goes into a modelsapce like mode and pacing and zooming here makes no difference when I leave the modelspace/viewport view.
When you double-click on viewport border, you enter special "maximise viewport" state, which is practically the same as selecting Model tab at the bottom of the drawing area. You should see wide blue boundary around drawing area when you are in this "maximise viewport" state. And yes, panning and zooming in this mode not affect viewport pan and zoom level when you go back to Paper Space from this state.
>>>> Also all the lines are in their layer colours not the plot style monochrome assigned to the Layout in the Layout this was duplicated from.
When you are in "maximise viewport" state (see the answer above), the Layout Page Setup settings do not work, because you actually you are just temporarily switching to the Model.
>>>>This is where I'm seeing drawings that are set to 1:10 appearing more like 1:200 or something. The scale is totally out. can't get the ploy styles to apply again, I must of flaked it with the one sucessful elevation.
Hard to answer without having your drawing at hand....
