How do I close a viewport in AutoCAD?

You can close a viewport in AutoCAD by either double-clicking outside the viewport area or by using the PS command.

Here's a breakdown of the methods:

• Double-Clicking Outside the Viewport: This is the most intuitive method. Simply move your cursor outside the boundary of the active viewport and double-click. This will return you to the paper space.

• Using the PS (Paper Space) Command:

  1. Type PS in the command line.
  2. Press Enter. This command switches you from model space (within the viewport) back to paper space.

Both of these methods effectively "close" the active viewport, allowing you to work in paper space. It's important to note that you're not deleting the viewport, just exiting its active state.
