Good evening,
I now use very little autocad or draftsight, working practically full-time on 3d modelers, so I don't know the latest software features. I ask you for help to get out of a single model with many layers plus tables (Layout ), selecting for each of them which layers to display.
basically I have a plan of a production site with layers of various machinery, plants etc. I would like to connect the model to various tables. For example on one I would like to see the general plan with only the machines, on another the general with only the electrical equipment, on another always the production sites with only the pneumatic part etc. etc.
by changing the general part, which in the example above could be the layout of the site would allow you to see the modification on all linked tables. I do not want to turn on/off the various layers before printing because this does not allow a controlled management of the changes, i.e. I could have in circulation with the same cartiglio different designs for a forgetfulness / turn off of some layers.
I hope I was clear in the description of the problem.
I thank all those who want to lose a few minutes to answer my question.
greetings

I understood little, however the layers can be turned off in the individual layout windows.
in practice in a layout you can have four windows and for example always show the same area of the plant and in each window turn off at discretion the oil layer, the h2o layer, the argon layer and the fat layer that instead remain visible in the other windows
 
each layout can have its own list of layers on or off.
basically you just have to create the layout, enter it with the usual double click and then turn on or off the layers. attention: the layers to be turned on and/or turned off are those that you find on the right of the panel.
This way you can create all the layouts you want and associate the layers you want.
 
thanks to both, it was exactly what I wanted to do, the problem that I turned off the layers from the general panel and therefore disappeared in the model as well as in the layuot.
I need to figure out how the layer management is in the layouts.
I verify both in autocad and draftsight how it works.
