Sub Example_Split()
	' This example creates a new viewport and makes it active.
	' Then it splits the viewport into four windows.
	' It then takes one of the four windows, and splits that
	' window horizontally in half.
	Dim newViewport As AcadViewport
	 
	' Create a new viewport and make it active
	Set newViewport = ThisDrawing.Viewports.Add("TESTVIEWPORT")
	ThisDrawing.ActiveViewport = newViewport

	' Split the viewport in four windows
	newViewport.Split acViewport4

	' Make the newly split viewport active
	ThisDrawing.ActiveViewport = newViewport

	' Note that current drawing layout will show four windows.
	' However, only one of the windows will be active.
	' The following code sets the lower-left corner window
	' to be the active window and then splits that
	' window into two horizontal windows.
	Dim entry
	For Each entry In ThisDrawing.Viewports
		If entry.name = "TESTVIEWPORT" Then
			Dim lowerLeft
			lowerLeft = entry.LowerLeftCorner
