ViewPort Layer Properties between different PaperSpace tabs

Hope this makes sense. I have two paperspaces set up. One for 11x17. Another for 22x34 (different plotter). I had to make numerous changes to the drawing (11x17 tab) inside the viewports, plus resizing, moving them, etc. So it benefits me to just delete everything from the 22x34 tab and copy-paste everything from the revised 11x17 tab. Everything is fine, except the layering scheme in the viewports that I copy over to the 22x34. All layers are set to On. So now I've got to back to the VPort in the 11x17 tab and check which ones are frozen. Then go back to the VPort in the 22x34 tab and re-freeze them there. So I'm wondering how to eliminate having to do this.

Thanks,
Eric

 

Save layer states?

Why two layouts? Why not just plot the big one smaller with a different pagesetup? Works for us.

 

As OC said, named page setups and a single tab are usually the right way to
handle the situation you describe.

But if there is still a need to have the same thing on multiple tabs, then
it would make sense to make it a block or xref. No use drawing something
twice.

Good luck -

Thanks everyone for your help. Dummy me. I didn't even know about creating different Page Setups under the same Layout tab. Thanks for setting me in the right direction.

Still back to my original question. Suppose I want to Copy-Paste a VPort over to an existing Layout tab. There is still a need for this, especially if I need to copy one from another drawing. Not all the Layers are freezing properly in the newly created Vport I've just copied over. So I'm just wondering if there is a variable I have to set or is it a bug? I'm using 2004.

Thanks,
