Model Space/Paper Space
 Model
space is the space where you draw
and design in AutoCAD.
 Model
space is the place where most of
your work will be performed.

 Paper
space is a space you use to lay out
a drawing or model to be plotted.

 Look
at the tabs along the bottom of the
screen to determine if you are in Model
Space or Paper Space.

 Paper
Space is like a sheet of paper with
“holes” cut in it.

Layouts
 Layout
tabs allow you to create
 Multiple
paper viewport layouts.
 Example:
A
size layout
 C size layout
 E size layout, etc.
A
drawing can have multiple layouts.

Layouts
 Layout
tabs allow you to create various
paper viewport layouts.
A
drawing can have multiple layouts.
Model Space and Paper Space
14
Model Space/Paper Space
 In
a Layout,
 You
can cut as many holes as you desire.
 The holes can be different sizes and shapes.
 You can arrange the holes to create a final
drawing layout by moving and sizing
viewports.
Model Space and Paper Space
15
Model Space/Paper Space
 In
Layouts, paper space viewports are
handled as objects and can be edited.
 Moved
 Copied
 Re-sized
 Deleted
 This
allows you to place and plot different
views of your work on the same drawing.
Model Space and Paper Space
16
Model Space/Paper Space
 To
create a Layout, pick one of the layout
tabs at the bottom of the screen.
 AutoCAD
puts the display in paper space
and shows a “sheet of paper” with a
“default cut-out” or viewport.
Model Space and Paper Space
17
Paper Space
 The
first time you switch to paper space,
AutoCAD performs an automatic layout
setup.
 You
must select a plotting device.
 You can pick various plotting options.

 You
can only plot the currently active
viewport from Model Space.
 Any
viewports you create in Model Space
disappear in Paper Space.
Model Space and Paper Space
26
Paper Space
 While
in a Layout Tab, you can switch
between paper space and model space by
either
 Using

the Pspace and Mspace commands.
OR
 Clicking
on the MODEL / PAPER button at the
bottom of the screen.
Model Space and Paper Space
27
Paper Space
 When
you are in paper space, AutoCAD
displays a UCS icon at the lower left of the
screen.
 “PAPER”
is also displayed on the status
line at the bottom of the screen.

The MVIEW Command
Model Space and Paper Space
29
Paper Space and MVIEW
 The
MVIEW command is used to create
and manage floating viewports in paper
space.
 MVIEW
only works in paper space.
Model Space and Paper Space
30
Paper Space and MVIEW
 When
you switch to paper space you
initially see ONE viewport that contains
your model space drawing.
Model Space and Paper Space
31
Paper Space and MVIEW
 Your
drawing will be displayed in this
viewport.
 The
drawing is displayed in the last zoom or
viewport.
Model Space and Paper Space

33
Paper Space and MVIEW
 Floating
paper.
viewports are “holes” cut into the
 The
Model Space can bee “seen” through
this “hole” cut in the paper.
Model Space and Paper Space
34
Paper Space and MVIEW
 While
in a Layout Tab, you can enter
Model Space through the viewport, by
double-clicking in the viewport.
Model Space and Paper Space
35
Paper Space and MVIEW
 The
viewports are separate objects.
 They
can overlap and can be moved
around.
Model Space and Paper Space
36
Paper Space and MVIEW
 After
the floating viewports are created,
display commands are used to modify the
model space “seen” through the viewport.
 Move
 Copy
 Erase

37
Creating Floating Viewports
The VPORTS Command
Model Space and Paper Space
38
Creating Floating Viewports
 Creating
floating viewports in Paper Space
is very similar to creating Tiled Viewports
in Model Space.
Model Space and Paper Space
39
Creating Floating Viewports
A
view port configuration can be selected
from the Viewports dialog box.
 Use
the VPORTS command.
 The
MVIEW command can also be used.
Model Space and Paper Space
40
Creating Floating Viewports
 When
Model Space is active,
 the
Viewports dialog box creates tiled
viewports.
 When
paper space is active,
 the
Viewports dialog box creates floating
viewports.

Creating Floating Viewports
 Use
Spacing to set the space around the
edges of the floating viewports.

The MVIEW Command Options
Model Space and Paper Space
47
Creating Floating Viewports
 MV,
MVIEW or -VPORTS options:
 ON
 OFF
 Fit
 Hideplot
 Lock
 Object
 Polygonal
Model Space and Paper Space
48
Creating Floating Viewports
 ON
 Activates
the model space display within a
view port.
 OFF
 Deactivates
a model space display within a
view port.
Model Space and Paper Space
49
Creating Floating Viewports
 Fit
 Default
option.
 Creates a single rectangular floating viewport
that fills the entire printable area on the sheet.
 The
sub options 2, 3, 4 can be used to create
multiple viewports.

52
Creating Floating Viewports
 Hideplot
 Prevents
hidden lines in a 3D model from
being plotted.
Model Space and Paper Space
53
Creating Floating Viewports
 Lock
 Locks
the view in one or more viewports.
 When a viewport is locked, objects in the view
port can be edited and new objects added
 but:
 Display
commands like Zoom and Pan are
disabled.
Model Space and Paper Space
54
Creating Floating Viewports

Object
 Use
to change a closed object drawn in paper space
into a floating viewport.

Existing
 Circles
 Ellipses
 Polygons
and
 other closed shapes

can be used as floating viewport outlines.
Model Space and Paper Space
55
Creating Floating Viewports
 Polygonal
 Draw
a floating viewport outline using a
polyline.
 Any shape can be used.
Model Space and Paper Space
56
Creating Floating Viewports
 OR
 Draw
the shape in paper space using the
POLYGON command.
 Use MVIEW command
 Select Object sub-menu option to make the
object a viewport.

Zoom to Paper Space
Model Space and Paper Space
59
Zoom To Paper Space
 Zoom
Scale has two options:
 nX
 And
 nXP
 nX
scales the display relative to the
current display
Model Space and Paper Space
60
Zoom To Paper Space
 nXP
 Scales
the drawing in Model Space relative to
Paper Space.
 Is used primarily in the layout of scaled
multivew drawings.
 THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT ZOOM
COMMAND YOU WILL LEARN !

New Paper Space Layouts
 Create
New Paper Space layouts by rightclicking the Layout Tab at the bottom of
the screen.
 Select
“New Layout”.
