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.
These spaces are accessible on two or more tabs near the bottom of the drawing
area: the Model tab and one or more named layout tabs.
NOTE Layouts can be represented as tabs which can be hidden, appearing instead
as buttons on the status bar at the bottom-center of the application window.
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.
