Working with Model Space
and Layouts
In this tutorial, you work with layouts in AutoCAD
®
Mechanical, to create scale areas,
viewports, and detail views in model space. You learn how to freeze objects in viewports
without affecting the model and other layouts.
Key Terms
DefinitionTerm
A layer made up of working layers and standard parts layers.
Base layers are repeated in every layer group.
base layer
Enlargement of a portion of the design drawing that cannot
be clearly displayed or dimensioned. The overall representation
(surface texture symbols, etc.) can be enlarged.
detail
A layout of drawing views in model space or layout.drawing
A group of associated or related items in a drawing. A major
advantage of working with layer groups is that you can deac-
layer group
tivate a specific layer group and a complete component. The
drawing and its overview are enhanced by reduction in regen-
eration time.
The tabbed environment in which you create and design
floating viewports to be plotted. Multiple layouts can be created
for each drawing.
