Should all model space drawings be 1 1?

You always draw at 1:1 scale in modelspace. Always. 1/20, 1/50 and others are plot/print paper scales: you decide we after you draw at 1:1 scale what to plot to, its the most flexible easy way ever. Try the variable "psltscale" (change it to 1) in paperspace.

What should be the proper model space scale for your drawing?

At what scale should you draw objects in model space?

1:1 scale AutoCAD 2D drawings are commonly drawn in model space at a 1:1 scale (full-size). In other words, a 12-foot wall is drawn at that size. The drawings are then plotted or printed at a plot "scale" that accurately resizes the model objects to fit on paper at a given scale such as 1/8" = 1'.

What is the difference between model and layout in AutoCAD?

A layout page can have multiple viewports, but for now, we will keep it at one. In the layout there is a difference between 'model space' and 'paper space', in model space we can move and scale the viewports. In model space, the scale of the model can be adjusted.

What is the scale factor for 1 20?

1" = 20' Multiply the feet by 12. 20 x 12 = Scale Factor 240.

How do you scale model space?

How do you calculate the scale?

To scale an object to a smaller size, you simply divide each dimension by the required scale factor. For example, if you would like to apply a scale factor of 1:6 and the length of the item is 60 cm, you simply divide 60 / 6 = 10 cm to get the new dimension.

What is space paper?

• Paper Space, introduced in AutoCAD R11, can be considered a parallel realm within an AutoCAD drawing, but one where the "world" is based on the sheet of paper on which the final drawing will be printed or plotted.

What is paper space?

• Paper space is the area where the titleblock with its border would be located; then by opening a viewport within the border of the titleblock, the drawing that you have into the model space will appear. At that point you'll have to scale that drawing to fit within the border of the titleblock.

What is model space?

• Model Space is the "space" in which most of an AutoCAD drawing resides. Even though it didn't have a "space" designation attached to it until Release 11, Model Space has been around since AutoCAD was first developed - version 1.0. In Model Space, everything exists as in the real world, where 1 foot = 1 foot.

What is paper space in AutoCAD?

• Paper space is an area used in Autocad to plot (print) the drawing created in model space. Paper space is a lot more powerful than simply letting us plot the entire model space drawing, we can set up views called Viewports within the paper space area to separately show different areas of the model space drawing.
