Define Layouts and Plot
 
 
 

After you've created your drawing with AutoCAD, you usually plot it on paper. A plotted drawing can contain a single view of your drawing or a more complex arrangement of views. In paper space, you can create windows called floating viewports, which display various views of the drawing. Depending on your needs, you can plot one or more viewports, or set options that determine what is plotted and how the image fits on the paper.
