Not sure what you mean by cutting out. But in layout you can create as many vports as you want with the Mview command to look at any part of your drawing that’s in model space. You can even draw an irregular shaped polygon with the Pline command and use that as your vport to look at your drawing in model space. Perhaps you can share a sample dwg and also show us what parts of the drawing you want to see?

Hello,

In AutoCAD, to display specific parts of a model in a layout, create a viewport in the layout tab and adjust it to show the desired area by zooming and panning. Set an appropriate scale and lock the viewport to maintain consistency. Optionally, use the CLIP command to crop the viewport to a specific shape, focusing only on the required portion of the model. Add annotations or dimensions in the layout for better presentation. Repeat this process to display additional parts as needed.

Hi, Thanks for your replay,

I've attached photo of the drawing, my request is to split a part for example from "Runway" in layout1, another part in layout2 and so on.

Thanks for the photo but since you didn’t attach a sample dwg you’ll have to try the commands on your own as I’ve suggested in my first reply. In layout1 use the Mview command to create a vport, type Mspace command to go inside that vport and use Zoom or Pan commands to adjust the view and see a part of the Runway. Enter Pspace command to be back in layout when view adjustments are finished. Then you can right mouse click on the layout1 tab and select the Copy option to make a layout(1). Select layout(1), and now you do the same by entering Mspace command to go inside this vport and adjust the view to see another portion of the Runway.
