VPORTS (Command) Find
The options available depend on whether you are configuring model space viewports (on the Model layout) or layout viewports (on a named (paper space) layout).
Tabs for Model space viewports: New Viewports—Model Space, Named Viewports—Model Space
Tabs for layout viewports: New Viewports—Layouts, Named Viewports—Layouts
It is important to create layout viewports on their own layer. When you are ready to output your drawing, you can turn off the layer and output the layout without the boundaries of the layout viewports.
The following options are displayed.
Specifies a name for the new model space viewport configuration. If you do not enter a name, the viewport configuration is applied but not saved. If a viewport configuration is not saved, it cannot be used in a layout.

Displays a preview of the viewport configuration you select and the default views assigned to each individual viewport in the configuration.
Applies the model space viewport configuration to the entire display or to the current viewport.
Specifies either a 2D or a 3D setup. When you select 2D, the new viewport configuration is initially created with the current view in all of the viewports. When you select 3D, a set of standard orthogonal 3D views is applied to the viewports in the configuration.
Replaces the view in the selected viewport with the view you select from the list. You can choose a named view, or if you have selected 3D setup, you can select from the list of standard views. Use the Preview area to see the choices.
