CHAPTER 13
Working with Layouts and Annotative Objects
There are two distinct spaces in which you can create drawings: modelspace and paperspace. Typically, 2D drawings and 3D models are created in modelspace. Layouts in paperspace bring together annotations and drawings to be ultimately plotted on paper or published electronically. Viewports display drawings at specific scales on layouts, which is where you'll draw title blocks that frame the drawings. We will discuss all of these in this chapter and explain how to use each.
