    You are in paper space with a viewport. The Viewport is displaying all of the entities in Model space, so when you erase the viewport the drawing also disappears. Instead make a new layer called "VIEWPORT", put the viewport on that layer, then freeze that layer. You will still be able to see your drawing in paper space, but the line for the viewport will not be visible.
