(OP)
How can I lock numerous layout tabs to display each of the 3 drawings I have created in the model tab?

At the moment I have to hide layers to see each of my drawings but then all 3 tabs change to the drawing currently in view.

I hope I have explained this clearly enough. Im sure it is something very simple that I have overlooked.

Cheers

RE: lock display

Go into 'floating model space' in the tab you are interested in, and open up the Layer Properties Manager window, and instead of freezing/turning off the layers you don't want, go to the right-hand end and 'Freeze In This Viewport'/VP Freeze.
In the next tabs along, you should then find these layers still displayed.

This is perfect. So simple.
