Creates a new viewport in a layout block. A viewport is a rectangular area that displays a part of the drawing at a given scale and angle. Viewports can only exist in layout blocks, special blocks dedicated to printing the drawing or parts of it, often along with a border and header.
The viewport is now added to the layout. To change properties such as scale or rotation angle of the viewport, you can click it to select it and adjust properties using the property editor.
The rectangular border of the viewport is shown if the layer the viewport is on is shown. If the layer the viewport is on is switched off, the border is hidden but the contents of the viewport is still shown. Viewports are typically placed on a dedicated layer (e.g. "viewports") which can be switched off for printing.
