New layout viewports are turned on by default. If you turn off the layout
viewports you aren't using, you can copy layout viewports without waiting
for each one to regenerate.
If you don't want to plot a layout viewport, you can turn the layout viewport
off.
To turn viewports on or off using the Properties palette
1 Make sure you are on a layout tab in paper space.
2 Click the border of the viewport to turn on or off.
3 Click Home tab ➤ Layer panel ➤ Layer Properties.
4 In the Properties palette, under Misc, select On, and then select Yes or
No to turn the viewport on or off.
For a nonrectangular viewport, select All (2) in the Properties palette, and
then select Viewport (1) before changing any viewport properties.
