PSPACE (Command)

In a layout, switches from model space in a viewport to paper space.

Summary

The program switches from model space to paper space when you are working on a named (paper space) layout.

On the named layout, use paper space to create a finished layout of a drawing for printing. As part of designing your layout, you create layout viewports, which are windows containing different views of the model. By switching from paper space to model space (see MSPACE), you can edit the model and views within the current layout viewport.

You can make a viewport current by double-clicking inside it. You can switch to paper space by double-clicking an area of the paper space layout that is not within a viewport.

You can also switch between layouts by using one of the following methods:

  • Quick View on the file tab
  • The Model and layout tabs at the bottom of the drawing area
Note: The Model and layout tabs are only displayed if you have selected to display the Status Bar (Cmd-6).
