VPLAYER (Viewport Layer) Command:

The VIEWPORT LAYER (Vplayer) command provides control of the layers in a viewport when using multiple viewports in Paper Space. This command only works in the Model Side of Paper Space. The FREEZE option under this command allows you to make specified layers in a specific viewport invisible.

Before activating the Vplayer command, you need to change to the Model Side of Paper Space. To make this change, select the Layout tab and either check to see if the MODEL button is displayed on the Status Bar at the bottom of the AutoCAD screen or click on the PAPER button to change it to MODEL. Next, select the viewport in which you wish to freeze layers by clicking inside of it with the left mouse button.
