    is there an easy way to "flatten" or "push" the items drawn in paper
    space onto the items in model space. In other words make an exact
    copy of what you see in paper space in model space.
    TIA

  2. Assuming that your model has not been cropped by a floating viewport,
    you could make a block out of the paperspace entities, insert it into
    mspace,
    scale it the inverse of the scale factor of the viewport, turn off any
    layers
    that were frozen in the viewport, and now your should have something that
    will
    look like your paperspace version (positioning issues aside). HOWEVER it
    will not be the same size in units.
    If you need it to be the same size, you will have to scale the whole thing
    down by
    the scale factor of the viewport. This may, or may not be smart.
