To summarize, here's a partial list of some of the things you do in each of
the two environments.
Model Space
You can perform the following tasks in model space:
Zoom to a scale in a viewport
Work on the building (or the project you are drawing)
Make a viewport current
Control layer visibility globally for the drawing
Paper Space (Layouts)

Create viewports
Modify the size and location of viewports
Use the Viewports toolbar to set a viewport's scale
Lock/unlock the scale of the display in a viewport
Turn viewports on or off
2. Right-click and choose Display Viewport Objects; then click No. The
contents of the viewport disappear (see Figure 14.81). You can accom-

3. Turn the viewport back on.
4. Save this drawing, keeping its existing A-100.dwg filename.
