is a fine can of worms you've opened! After reading all this and seeing the
various tangents the conversation has taken, I offer this suggestion: please
be wary of the answers you get here. Take them with a grain of salt. I see
that there are nearly as many different answers to your original question as
there are people answering it. I just manipulated drawings (as a test) to see
how paper space and model space geometry, text, and dimensions went from ACAD
LT 97, to LT 2000, to Full 2000 and back. There were no glitches. I'm guessing
that there wouldn't be any glitches even going back to Release 12 format -
which is where I first started using geometry in model space (whether being
used as 2D or actual 3D) and text and dimensions in paper space. Just to let
some of you know - dimensioning in paper space isn't new to 2002. It's been
around for a very long time - and for a very good reason. I'm not going to sit
here and tell you which is better for YOUR unique application, but I get the
distinct impression that as users (and managers) get a better understanding of
the tool and it's capabilities, we'll see graphics in model space and text in
paper space. From what I have seen here, there are many ill-informed replies
or perhaps they simply don't understand what they think they understand. It's
not rocket science. Perhaps Tracy could shed some light on this
subject?
