Explanation
A Layout is used to compose or lay out your model drawing for printing. A layout may consist of a title block, one or more viewports, and annotations. As you create a layout, you can design floating Viewport configurations to visualize different details in your drawing.
A layout is a paper space environment that simulates a sheet of paper. In a layout, you can create and position viewport objects, and you can add a title block or other geometry. You can create multiple layouts in a drawing to display various views. Each layout displays the drawing as it will be printed on the sheet of paper.
Typically, when you begin designing a layout environment, you step through the following process:
| 1. | Create a model drawing. |
| 2. | Activate or create a layout. |
| 3. | Insert a title block. |
| 4. | Create floating viewports and position them in the layout. |
| 5. | Set the view scale of the floating viewports. |
| 6. | Print your layout. |
