■ Viewport setup information

Reuse Layouts and Layout Settings
Once a layout has been created in a drawing, it can be reused in the same
drawing or in other drawings.
Duplicate a Layout
Layouts and layout tabs can be copied in your drawing. The Model tab
cannot be copied.
If you have many layouts or layouts with long names, all the tabs may not
fit at the bottom of the drawing area. AutoCAD displays arrows with the tabs
that you can use to change the displayed tabs. The arrows shown with the
bars display the first and last layout tab. Note that as you change the display
of the tabs, the current layout tab may not be shown
