What's wrong with printing from modelspace?
Lesee:
1.) Differently scaled pictures on the same drawing is a royal PITB for annotation and plotting.
2.) Impossible to plot different views of the same 3D model on the same plot.
3.) Layer control by viewport is impossible
4.) Multiple sheets can't be plotted at the same time from one drawing file.
5.) Plotting scale changes with every drawing
6.) No ability for irregular viewports to clip out extraneous data.
and that's just off the top of my head. Basically it would cost us about 20% of our productivity.
Now my question; why not use LAYOUTs?
Now first let me say that before I start another debate, that I am simply being devil's advocate for a minute.....
1.) Modelspace contains only 2d data, different views are not required
2.) Title block is defined in MS thus allowing the user to be assured the object will fit in the desired plotting scale properly
3.) You are using R1x and A2kx (paperspace was a real PITB before R14)
4.) Your drawings are all inclusive and all layers are plotted at the same time
5.) Extraneous data is not in the drawing (extraneous meaning not needed for that particular plan)
6.) The client is stupid and never learned PS, so requires everything in MS
Ok, that is a few I thought of at the moment....incedently ... PS is very easy to work with once you understand the positives and negatives of both PS and MS.... you might decide you like it....Ok, I will not post on this subject again.....
