Create Layouts
A layout simulates a sheet of paper and provides a
predictable plotting setup. In a layout, you can create
and position viewport objects, and you can add a title
block or other objects and geometry. You can create
multiple layouts in a drawing to display various views,
each of which can contain different plot scales and
paper sizes. Each layout displays the drawing as it will be
plotted on the sheet of paper.
