Float Multiple Layouts

Is it possible to float multiple layouts separately? I work on 2 monitors and it would be really handy to have one layout open on each screen. I do marine work, so I often need to create similar drawings for port and starboard, and it would be really handy to have both paper space drawings open at the same time, one on each monitor.

Right now my workaround is to finish one, print it to pdf, then open that on the 2nd monitor. Or to open a 2nd Rhino instance, open the file read only, and close all the tool bars. If I float the layout on the 2nd instance, it vanishes when I go back to the first instance.

Have you tried adding a floating viewport?

_NewFloatingViewport

Doesn’t work with paper space layouts, just model space views. Unless there is something that I am missing

It seems all layouts can live in a floating viewport but just once.

No idea why we can’t have two floating viewports with layouts or multiple docked viewports showing a layout page each?
