Working in Model Space and Paper Space
When you are working with Sheet Manager commands, you work in
both paper space (layout mode) and model space. Model space is
where you draw and manipulate your objects. You set up sheets to
plot in a layout. For the majority of time you work in a layout when
you are setting up sheets to plot the Sheet Manager commands. You
switch between model space and layout mode by clicking the Model
and Layout tabs at the bottom of the drawing window.
You can do different things depending on which mode you are in. For
example, when you are in model space mode, you can create and edit
objects in your model space drawing. When you are in layout mode,
you can draw entities, such as a sheet border, to be plotted when you
plot the drawing.
Creating Label Styles, Sheet Styles,
and Frames
Customizing your sheet can include changes to the styles used for any
annotation, grids, symbols, and so on. A sheet style defines whether a
sheet will display a profile view, plan view, or sections from an
alignment. After it is defined, the sheet style allows you to
automatically generate a sheet with a wide assortment of detailed
design annotation. Sheet styles can be saved and reused by everyone
working on current and future projects.
