Viewport arrangements can be saved only in model space, but you can restore saved viewport arrangements either in model space, as model space viewports, or in paper space, as layout viewports.

Saved settings include

• The number and position of viewports
• The views that the viewports contain
• The grid and snap settings for each viewport
• The UCS icon display setting for each viewport
