I use AutoCAD since R14. It already has paperspace (old term for old people like me, layout to younger you), but using model space is still very common. And it looks like my tutor was too lazy to teach me how to use paperspace. So I’m quite familiar with modelspace until I decided to use layout. AutoCAD layout today is very simple and very powerful to use. I wish we had this in early 90’s.
I’m not sure why today people still prefer to set their drawing border and title block in model space. I can understand if you are a veteran AutoCAD ninja who already comfortable with it. And I do know some drawings don’t need to use layout, especially schematic drawings.
But for the younger users, I expect them to start using layout. There are many advantages of using layout. These are 10 advantages I can find.
SIMPLIFY DRAWINGSFirst, using layout will simplify the drawing. Below we have several drawings with different scales. How do we do it in model space? We were actually draw them in different scales. If you have a detailed view, then you have to copy and scale that part of your drawing. When we need to change it, then we have to update them all manually.
