Summary
In a layout, you can create as many viewports as you want, but only up to 64
viewports can be active at one time (see
MAXACTVP (page 1405)). Objects in
model space are visible only in active viewports. Viewports that are not active
are blank. Use the On and Off options to control whether viewports are active.

Corner of Viewport
Specifies the first corner of a rectangular viewport.
On
Makes a selected viewport active. An active viewport displays objects in model
space. The MAXACTVP system variable controls the maximum number of
viewports that can be active at one time. If your drawing contains more
viewports than the number specified in MAXACTVP, you must turn one off
to make another one active.
Off
Makes a selected viewport inactive. Objects in model space are not displayed
in an inactive viewport.
Fit
Creates one viewport that fills the layout to the edges of the printable area.
When the paper background and printable area are turned off, the viewport
fills the display.
Shadeplot
Specifies how viewports in named (paper space) layouts are plotted.
As Displayed Specifies that a viewport is plotted the same way it is displayed.
