How do you line up viewports?

Everything is on one layout/sheet.

Currently there are a total of 3 viewports in an L  formation. The fourth viewport, will go in the upper right. But first, I have to get these aligned.

I think the viewports themselves are fine enough. The problems arise because the model is in Model space so, construction line (as far as I can tell)  didn't want to snap to a line, (on the model,)  in Paper space.(vertical or horizontal) So, I can only see the construction line, in one viewport at a time. Which means, the construction line is not visible in the viewport immediately to the left. So, I can't extend the construction line  across both viewports, to to snap them to the construction line.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

I would say when lining up viewports that none of them should be active, so each viewport is just an object and can be moved around like any other, you can osnap to any geometry in the model while in the layout (no active viewport) and snap to anyother geometry in another viewport. Once you have the alignment you want then use the viewport grips to size accordingly.

And any object can be viewed in any viewport assuming the layers are not off/frozen per viewport.
