Manage Layer Visibility in a Layout
You can control layer visibility separately in each layout viewport. You can
also specify default visibility settings for new viewports and for new layers.
Freeze Layers in Layout Viewports
You can freeze or thaw layers in current and future layout viewports without
affecting other viewports. Frozen layers are invisible. They are not regener-
ated or plotted. Freezing layers is useful, for example, for displaying
annotation only in a particular viewport. In the illustration, the layer show-
ing terrain has been frozen in one viewport.
