AutoCAD paperspace/modelspace

Plan & profile made easy

For instance, in the past, plotting plan & profile meant creating a separate drawing for each sheet. But with Paperspace/Modelspace, you create the layouts for all of the sheets, right in the same drawing! If any changes are required, using the old method you would have to go back and update each and every sheet before you could do another plot. With Paperspace, simply edit the main drawing and the changes are reflected in each of the sheet layouts automatically!

Create detail views that update themselves

Need a detail view? Simply create another MView, then zoom and pan (or scale) the drawing until you get it where you want it. Next, draw an arrow back to the detail location in the main drawing. Now anytime you edit the drawing, the detail view is automatically updated as well.

 

Independent text, layers and dimensions

Create notes, annotations, legends and more. The text is only shown in the Paperspace layout, not in the main drawing. You can also turn layers on and off in each view, without affecting the layer settings in your drawing.
