Access Model Space from a Layout Viewport
You can access model space from a layout viewport to edit objects, to freeze
and thaw layers, and to adjust the view.
After creating viewport objects, you can access model space from a layout
viewport to perform the following tasks:
■ Create and modify objects in model space inside the layout viewport.
■ Pan the view inside the layout viewport and change layer visibility.
The method you use to access model space depends on what you plan to do.
Create and Modify Objects in a Layout Viewport
If you plan to create or modify objects, use the Maximize Viewport button on
the status bar to make the layout viewport fill the application window. The
center point and the layer visibility settings of the layout viewport are retained,
and the surrounding objects are displayed.
You can pan and zoom while you are working in model space, but when you
restore the viewport to return to paper space, the position and scale of the
objects in the layout viewport are restored.
