Splitting the Plan View
If the plan view that is contained in the viewport definition is a curved or
otherwise irregular segment, then you can use the Split Plan View command to
split the viewport into two segments, and then set the plan view angle

You can switch back and forth between paper space and model space by
typing PS or MS at the prompt. These options make it possible to reference a
point in paper or model space. For example, if you want to split the viewport
exactly in half, then you can go to paper space and pick the midpoint of the
bottom of the viewport using an object snap.
When the viewport is split, the command rotates the plan view angle to best fit
the alignment into the viewport. All plan frames are updated automatically. If
you want to further adjust the plan view angle, then use the Set Plan View
Angle command.
