Figure 12-8: Showing nothing but the kitchen sink in a model space viewport.
If the title block changes when you zoom and pan, it means someone has locked the
viewport to prevent the kind of mischief that I warn against in the previous para-
graph. (You also see the command prompt Viewport is view-locked.
Switching to Paper space. ) Refer to Chapter 5 for information on locking and
unlocking viewports.
9. Choose Zoom Previous using your favorite ZOOM technique one or more times
until you've restored the original view.
10. Type PS and press Enter.
Always leave the crosshairs in paper space when you're ready to call a drawing in-
ished.
11. Click the Close window control in the upper-right corner of the drawing area.
Click No to close the drawing without saving changes.
In this example, I have you close the drawing without saving changes just in case
you did mess up the viewport zoom scale.
In most cases, you set up a paper space layout once (as described in Chapter 5) and
then just return to it to plot. You shouldn't be spending a lot of time zooming and pan-
ning in paper space layouts. You zoom and pan to get a better view of what you're draw-
ing and editing, and that's what full-screen model space is for. But if you do want to
zoom in paper space — to get a better look at part of your title block, for example —
make sure that you're doing it with the triangular paper space UCS icon on display at the
lower-left corner of the drawing area.
