MAXACTVP
Sets the maximum number of viewports that can be active at one time in a
layout.
TILEMODE
Makes the Model tab or the last layout tab current.
Work on a Named Layout
Named layouts access an area called paper space. In paper space, you place
your title block, create layout viewports to display views, dimension your
drawing, and add notes.
In paper space, one unit represents the actual distance on a sheet of paper.
The units will be in either millimeters or inches, depending on how you
configure your page setup.
On a named layou, you can view and edit paper space objects, such as layout
viewports and title blocks. You can also move an object (such as a leader or a
title block) from model space to paper space (or vice versa). The crosshairs
cursor is active over the entire layout area.
Create Additional Named Layouts
By default, a new drawing starts with two named layouts, named Layout1 and
Layout2. If you use a drawing template or open an existing drawing, the
layouts in your drawing may be named differently.
You can create a new layout using one of the following methods:
■ Add a new layout with no settings and then specify the settings in the
Page Setup Manager.
■ Copy a layout and its settings from the current drawing file.
■ Import a layout from an existing drawing template (DWT) file or drawing
(DWG) file.
Quick Reference
LAYOUT
Creates and modifies drawing layouts.
