To switch between model space and paper space on a layout
On a layout, use one of the following methods:
■ If you are in paper space, double-click within a layout viewport.
You are now in model space. The selected layout viewport becomes the
current viewport, and you can pan the view and change layer properties.
If you need to make significant changes to the model, it is recommended
that you use VPMAX to maximize the layout viewport or switch to the
Model tab.
■ If you are in model space in a layout viewport, double-click outside the
viewport.
You are now in paper space. You can create and modify objects on the
layout.
■ If you are in model space and want to switch to another layout viewport,
double-click within another layout viewport, or press Ctrl+R to cycle
through the existing layout viewports.
To edit in a maximized layout viewport
1 Click the boundary of the layout viewport to select it.
NOTE You can maximize a locked viewport and modify objects. When you
restore the viewport, it is locked again.
2 On the status bar, click the Maximize Viewport button.
You can restore the viewport and maximize another viewport by clicking
one of the arrows next to the Maximize Viewport button.
3 Make any changes.
4 To return to the layout viewport, click the Restore Viewport button on
the status bar.
The center point and magnification are returned to the settings that were
in effect before the viewport was maximized.
