When you begin working on a drawing, it consists of a single view of your model in a tiled model space viewport. You may have created additional tiled viewports by dividing the drawing space into multiple windows, but each is a separate tiled model space viewport.
In paper space, you can create floating viewports and arrange them on the screen to simulate the paper on which you will print a copy of your drawing. You can separately control the view, scale, and contents of each floating viewport.
When you switch to paper space, all of your model space viewports disappear. You must create at least one floating viewport to see your work.
