To switch between model space and paper space on a layout

On a layout, use one of the following methods:

• If you are in paper space, double-click within a layout viewport.

  You are now in model space. The selected layout viewport becomes the current viewport, and you can pan the view and change layer properties. If you need to make significant changes to the model, it is recommended that you use VPMAX to maximize the layout viewport or switch to the Model tab.

• If you are in model space in a layout viewport, double-click outside the viewport.

  You are now in paper space. You can create and modify objects on the layout.

• If you are in model space and want to switch to another layout viewport, double-click within another layout viewport, or press CTRL+R to cycle through the existing layout viewports.
