Control Visibility in Layout Viewports | 593
You can assign a screening value from 0 to 100. The default setting, 100,
means no screening is applied, and the object is displayed with normal ink
intensity. A screening value of 0 means the object contains no ink and is thus
invisible in that viewport.
Turn Layout Viewports On or Off
Displaying a large number of active layout viewports can affect your system's
performance as the content of each viewport regenerates. You can save time
by turning some viewports off or by limiting the number of active viewports.
The following illustration shows the effects of turning off two viewports.
New viewports are turned on by default. If you turn off the viewports you
aren't using, you can copy viewports without waiting for each one to
regenerate.
If you don't want to plot a viewport, you can turn the viewport off.
If you want to hide the viewport borders as you work or when you plot, create
a special layer for viewports. You can then turn off or freeze that layer.
