  1. Model Space and Paper Space Sacramento City College Engineering Design Technology Model Space and Paper Space

  2. 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. Model Space and Paper Space

  3. Model Space and Paper Space

  4. Model Space/Paper Space • Paper space is a space you use to lay out a drawing or model to be plotted. Model Space and Paper Space

  5. Model Space and Paper Space

  6. Model Space/Paper Space • Look at the tabs along the bottom of the screen to determine if you are in Model Space or Paper Space. Model Space and Paper Space

  7. Model Space/Paper Space • Paper Space is like a sheet of paper with “holes” cut in it. • Through the holes you can “see” model space. Model Space and Paper Space

  8. 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. Model Space and Paper Space

  10. 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. Model Space and Paper Space

  11. Model Space/Paper Space • Paper space is a space you use to lay out a drawing or model to be plotted. Model Space and Paper Space

  12. Model Space/Paper Space • Look at the tabs along the bottom of the screen to determine if you are in Model Space or Paper Space. Model Space and Paper Space

  13. Model Space/Paper Space • Paper Space is like a sheet of paper with “holes” cut in it. • Through the holes you can “see” model space. Model Space and Paper Space

  14. Layouts • Layout tabs allow you to create various paper viewport layouts. • A drawing can have multiple layouts. Model Space and Paper Space

  15. 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

  16. 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 plotdifferentviews of your work on the same drawing. Model Space and Paper Space

  17. 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

  18. Paper Space • The first time you switch to paper space, AutoCAD performs an automatic layout setup. • You must select a plottingdevice. • You can pick various plottingoptions. Model Space and Paper Space

  26. Model Space/Paper Space • 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

  27. 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

  28. 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. Model Space and Paper Space

  29. The MVIEW Command Model Space and Paper Space

  30. Paper Space and MVIEW • The MVIEW command is used to createand managefloating viewports in paperspace. • MVIEW only works in paper space. Model Space and Paper Space

  31. 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

  32. 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. Model Space and Paper Space

  34. Paper Space and MVIEW • Floating viewports are “holes” cut into the paper. • The Model Space can bee “seen” through this “hole” cut in the paper. Model Space and Paper Space

  35. Paper Space and MVIEW • While in a Layout Tab, you can enterModel Space through the viewport, by double-clicking in the viewport. Model Space and Paper Space

  36. Paper Space and MVIEW • The viewports are separate objects. • They can overlap and can be moved around. Model Space and Paper Space

  37. 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 Model Space and Paper Space

  38. Creating Floating ViewportsThe VPORTS Command Model Space and Paper Space

  39. Creating Floating Viewports • Creating floating viewports in Paper Space is very similar to creating Tiled Viewports in Model Space. Model Space and Paper Space

  40. 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

  41. 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. Model Space and Paper Space

  42. Model Space and Paper Space

  43. Model Space and Paper Space

  44. Creating Floating Viewports • Use Spacing to set the space around the edges of the floating viewports. Model Space and Paper Space

  47. The MVIEW Command Options Model Space and Paper Space

  48. Creating Floating Viewports • MV, MVIEW or -VPORTS options: • ON • OFF • Fit • Hideplot • Lock • Object • Polygonal Model Space and Paper Space

  49. 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

  50. 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. Model Space and Paper Space
