https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/autocad-forum/model-not-showing-in-viewport-preview/m-p/5608620#M331669 <P>Deb,</P> <P>Your picture looks like you are using the vports command. &nbsp;This command works to subdivide either the model tab layout or the other layouts into multiple views. &nbsp;The picture in the dialog never shows the model. It just gives an approximate idea of how the screen will be divided. &nbsp;After you exit the dialog, the screen is displayed in parts.</P> <P>&nbsp;</P> <P>The tabs below the dialog are Mode, Layout1, and Layout2. &nbsp;To be in paper space, choose one of the layouts. &nbsp;Usually a single viewport is automatically created that shows the model geometry. &nbsp;If not, you can use the mview command, the vports command or the ribbon layout tab to add viewports that show model geometry.</P> Sun, 26 Apr 2015 18:07:11 GMT dbroad 2015-04-26T18:07:11Z
