    Help! I am not as good of an AutoCAD user as I use to be. I have
    moved to Solidworks and I am a CAD Admin for a company that uses Acad
    and Solidworks. Here is my question. I need to make a decision for
    my company to go with Paper Space or Model Space. I do not know what
    the best route might be. Can anyone offer me as much pros and cons as
    you can to why you would use either? I was trained on R12 and never
    had this problem.

    Thanks for your help in advance!

  2. Paperspace isn't a problem. It's a feature, even back at r12, which I
    remember fondly (DOS version especially).

    Whether it makes sense for your company 'to go with' MS or PS is something
    that involves information you haven't provided. You haven't even told us
    what you're drawing, or how the drawings are being used.

    In general, I'd say that the smaller and simpler the drawings, the less
    value you'd get from the extra steps in PS, but my default would be to use
    it, and look for reasons not to- not the other way around. (I draw buildings
    for construction.)
