To Join Two Model Space Viewports

  1. Click View menu > Viewports > Join.
  2. Click in the model space viewport you want to keep.
  3. Click in an adjacent viewport to join it to the first viewport.

To Draw Across Two Model Space Viewports

In a large drawing, you can use this method to draw a line from a detail in one corner to a detail in a distant corner.

  1. Start the line in the current viewport.
  2. Make another viewport current by clicking within it, and then specify the second endpoint of the line.
