You can also create viewports on a named (paper space) layout. You use those
viewports, called layout viewports, to arrange the views of your drawing on a
sheet. You can move and resize layout viewports. By using layout viewports,
you have more control over the display; for example, you can freeze certain
layers in one layout viewport without affecting the others. For more
information about layouts and layout viewports, see
Create Multiple-View
Drawing Layouts (Paper Space)
on page 299.
Use Model Space Viewports
With model space viewports, you can do the following:
■ Pan; zoom; set Snap, Grid, and UCS icon modes; and restore named views.
■ Draw from one viewport to another when executing a command.
■ Name a viewport arrangement so that you can reuse it on the Model layout
or insert it on a named layout.
Split and Join Model Space Viewports
The illustrations below show several default model space viewport
configurations.
