What is a "Viewport" in AutoCAD?

A viewport in AutoCAD is indeed a window that displays a view of your model space within paper space. This functionality allows users to show different sections or views of a design without altering the actual model space layout. By using viewports, you can create multiple perspectives of your drawing on a single sheet, each with its own scale and area, which is particularly useful for presenting comprehensive designs that may require various angles or levels of detail.

This capability enhances your drawing presentations by allowing you to focus on specific parts of your design while maintaining the overall context, facilitating a more effective way to communicate complex information in a clear and organized manner. Each viewport can also be manipulated separately, which allows for greater flexibility in the organization of your workspace.
