    Hi, simple question here.

    I want to insert my drawing that I have drawn in the model workspace
    into a Layout. I have a border with drawing no., title and all
    inserted as a block. How do I insert my model into the layout and have
    it update automatically as I continue to revise my drawing in the model
    tab?

  2. You use a VIEWPORT.

    Wow, that was simple!

    Whenever I have to explain paper space and model space, I get a trash title
    block plot and cut out the middle. I have two people hold it up for me, then
    I stand right behind the drawing and say "Here I am at 1:1 scale [step back
    a few feet] here I am at quarter scale [step back a few feet] here I am at
    eighth scale..." Nothing like a good visual to get the point across.

  5. I resisted my pedantic urges to lecture the OP about the virtues of learning
    the names of things etc., etc., and tried a Longshot-ish one-liner : )

    You ever notice how they had to put tabs on Paperspace to be able to sell
    it? I get the feeling almost everyone is using "layouts" now, whereas you
    used to get the blankest stares when you'd try to sell the merits of PSPACE
    just a few years ago.....
