Paper space or Model space?
Paper space or Model space?
(OP)
We are using 2000. Since recently expanding, there has been a conflict on using Paper space or Model space. Any comments and/or personnel opinions on these two options would be greatly appreciated.

in which vocational field are You working? What do You want to draw?
If You have only one scale (1:1 !), and if You have export the *.dwg to different cad-systems, then use only modell-space. If not, use Paper-space!

RE: Paper space or Model space?
I have typically drawn everything except the border in Model Space. I use text styles and dimstyles to preset the correct heights and sizes of text and dimensions which allow me to more easily make changes later on in the project. Creating a script file or LISP routine is easy to automate the right dimstyles and text styles. I place the border (at real size) in Paper Space and simply use a viewport to show the necessary graphics inside the border. I do have to scale the view to match the scale that I want to produce, but, that's simple. Plotting is easy in Paper Space as it will then be 1:1 and still give me the correct scale. Also, remember to set the correct PSLTSCALE to get dashed/hidden lines to show up properly.
Hope this helps,
Paul
