Hi,
just a simple question.
How to turn off a layer, in only one viewport?

If you select the viewport, in the layer dropdown you will find an additional symbol next the "thaw". its a rectangle with a yellow circle. thats it.

Double click inside the viewport, then open the Layers dialog or the Layers section of the Drawing Explorer and click the 'Freeze VP' column of the layer.

Bas, Benjamin was also right. It is the icon you marked in your previous reply, but you need to double click inside the viewport first, otherwise you freeze the layer in paperspace of the current layout.

Cant you just click on a viewport, then freeze it in viewport? Having to go to the layer dialog box you need to remember all the names of the layers you want to freeze.

Having to go to the layer dialog box you need to remember all the names of the layers you want to freeze.Yes you can: use the LAYFRZ (freeze layer) command. Start the command, then choose Settings > Viewports > Vpfreeze in the command bar (or the prompt menu box). The LAYFRZ command sits on the Layers toolbar.

If you have already defined a Layerstate that has the appropriate layers turned off, just go into the viewport and restore that layerstate. That will automatically freeze all the appropriate layers in that viewport only. It won't freeze them or turn them off in other viewports or in modelspace.
By using layerstates, you can freeze layers in a viewport without opening the Layers dialog and without even knowing the names of the layers that are being frozen:
1. Use the LayOff command to turn off the appropriate layers by clicking on an object on each of those layers.
2. Create a new layerstate (or overwrite an existing one).
3. Go into the viewport and restore that layerstate.0
