| View menu: Model Space (Tiled) or Model Space (Floating) |
|
Command line: mspace |
AutoCAD LT operates in either model space or paper space. You use model space to do drafting and design work. You use paper space to create a finished layout of a drawing for printing or plotting.
Before you use the MSPACE command, the TILEMODE system variable must be set to 0 (off), and floating viewports must be created using MVIEW. If TILEMODE is on when you choose Model Space (Floating) from the View menu, AutoCAD LT prompts you to create a floating viewport.
AutoCAD LT switches to model space. If at least one viewport is on and active, AutoCAD LT switches to the last active viewport.
