insertion point
A reference point that is part of a block and
is used to locate the block when it's inserted
into a drawing. It's attached to the

while a block is being inserted. Once a block
has been inserted, use the Insertion
osnap
to
snap to the insertion point of the block.
layout
An optional interface that serves as an aid to
the user in setting up a drawing for printing.
It rests “on top of” the

tains the title block, notes, scale, and other
information. Users view a drawing through
openings in the layout called

single drawing file can have multiple layouts,
one for each print to be made from the file.
The layout interface is sometimes referred to
as
paper space
.
