Using Layouts to Set Up a Print - AutoCAD 2011 and AutoCAD LT 2011: No Experience Required - page 779

FiGuRE 14.81 The Plan Notes layout with the table viewport turned off
is drawing at least part of that drawing in each viewport. In a complex drawing, this
can slow down the computer, so it's handy to be able to temporarily turn off any
viewports on which you aren't working. It's also an easy way to check which objects
are in model space and which are on the layout (or in paper space).
You will work with the viewports and layouts again in the next chapter, where
you will round out your knowledge of 2D AutoCAD by learning the principles of
plotting and printing AutoCAD drawings.

Create a new drawing from scratch, attaching the necessary external refer-
ences, and create another layout for the cabin drawing that has a landscape
orientation and is sized to fit a 30 ″× 42 ″ paper. Create four or more viewports:
one for the site plan and the others for various views of the drawing. Your new
layout may look something like Figure 14.82.
Save this drawing as A-100-extra.dwg .
