Figure 12-7:
Zooming in paper space.
6. Return to a zoomed-all view using any of these techniques; or type
Z
and press
Enter, then type
A
and press Enter.
AutoCAD displays the entire layout again.
7. Type
MSPACE
(or
MS
) and press Enter.
Alternatively, you can double-click with the crosshairs over a viewport.
You should see the model space UCS icon at the lower-left corner of the display
(refer to Step 3 if you don't see an icon). The crosshairs are now in model space,
in-
side
the viewport, so zooming and panning change only the display of the objects
that are visible in the viewport. The display of the title block doesn't change.
8. Zoom and pan using any of the techniques described in this chapter.
Zooming and panning don't change the appearance of the title block, as shown in
Figure 12-8. The result looks as if you're moving a picture of the model space geo-
metry in and out and all around behind a frame.
In real drawings, you usually shouldn't zoom and pan inside viewports
after they've been set up (see Chapter 5). Doing so changes the scale of the view-
port, which messes up plotting. I'm asking you to do it here only to illustrate the dif-
ference between zooming in paper space and zooming in a model space viewport.
