Why? Just save the drawing under another name.

Copy & paste the model space from the old drawing to the new drawing.

 

Import the layout tab (right click on paperspace tab => from template).

 

Then you can export layer states from the original viewport and then restore them in the new viewport in your new drawing (via layer property manager).

If you are copying all the geometry, the layouts and the viewports what's the point? Save the original drawing under a new name and blow away whatever is not needed. Why make it more complicated than it needs to be?

That certainly seems to be the most efficient way to do it.

Maybe the OP is copying only a specific viewport or viewports in which case he needs a way to identify them. Same goes for any model space geometry. What if he needs only a portion of it?

Just trace over the viewport in Paperspace and use the CHSPACE command to move it back into modelspace, for clarification.

 

I'm pretty sure Lee Mac has a lisp to do it, if there are a lot of viewports and one doesn't want to do it manually.
