Layout
The Layout command creates a print layout viewport.
A layout viewport represents the sheet of paper that will be sent to a printer or a file such as a PDF. Layouts can include various views of the model and annotations like title blocks and notes.
Two types of viewports provide different functions: model viewports and layout viewports.
Create your surface or solid model using the appropriate units and precision in model viewports.
In layout viewports, place one or more details of your model and add information that annotates the printed sheet, such as manufacturing notes, bill of materials, general notes, title blocks, seals, and scale bars.
These viewports are accessible on the tabs at the bottom of the modelling area. The ViewportTabs command turns the tabs on and off.
