I know you are probably wondering why you should bother with Layouts.

A Layout (Paper Space) is a great method to manipulate your drawing for plotting.

Notice the drawing below with multiple viewports.

Each viewport is a hole in the paper.

You can see through each viewport (hole) to model space.

Using Zoom and Pan you can manipulate the display of model space in each viewport.

To manipulate the display you must be inside the viewport.

Refer to the next page for instructions on how to achieve this.
