Create Multiple-View Drawing Layouts (Paper
Space)
Paper space is a sheet layout environment where you can specify the size of
your sheet, add a title block, display multiple views of your model, and create
dimensions and notes for your drawing.
Quick Start for Layouts
There are two distinct working environments, or “spaces,” in which you can
create objects in a drawing.
Typically, a model composed of geometric objects is created in a
three-dimensional space called model space. A final layout of specific views
and annotations of this model is created in a two-dimensional space called
paper space.
Working in model space, you draw a model of your subject at 1:1 scale.
Working on a named layout, you create one or more layout viewports,
dimensions, notes, and a title block to represent a drawing sheet.
Each layout viewport is like a picture frame containing a “photograph” of the
model in model space. Each layout viewport contains a view that displays the
model at the scale and orientation that you specify. You can also specify which
layers are visible in each layout viewport.
After you finish arranging the layout, you turn off the layer that contains the
layout viewport objects. The views are still visible, and you can plot the layout
without displaying the viewport boundaries.
Understand the Layout Process
When you use a named layout to prepare your drawing for output, you follow
a series of steps in a process.
