Can I move dimensions from paper space into model space in a viewport?

I'm really hoping that someone could help me with the screw-up I just made.

 

I was dimensioning a viewport and has gone a good deal w/o checking when I eventually recognized that I've been doing this in a paper space instead of the model space (or the viewport itself.) And it's a lot of work, take a look:

So I'm curious if someone could suggest if there's an easy way to move all those dimensions into the model space? Or is it simpler to redo it from scratch?

You can try the CHSPACE command

Thanks. I tried and CHSPACE made them all disappear.

 

I found a solution though. Here it is if someone is interested:

Just remember when you use CHSPACE the scale of the dimensions stays 1:1. If they seem like they disappear, that is because the text and arrows/slashes are very small. You will have to change them to a dimstyle which supports the scale of the viewport you are working in.
