Changing to Paperspace

[MikeKovacik4928]

Hi Autocadders around the globe.

We have a new member in our drawing office who has never in all his years using autocad, used paper space.

what is the best way of transitioning him to paper space. I have done it before with  users of one of the previous drawing offices I was in, but it took quite a while and definitely has to be done with some sort of training tutorials, examples, videos etc.

I don't have a lot of up to date, relevant training material on that one.

Can I ask you seasoned autocadders out there to send me some or point me in the direction of some.

In particular, I would like to hear from cad managers (we don't have such a thing here, only drawing office managers

who mainly do document control but do not look after the cad aspect of things) on how they would do that or have done that in the past.

Are there users out there that still do everything in model space. I would really  be interested to know

and also why they are not using paper space. Model space is workable, but I think there are so many nice features in paper space to improve your methodology as well as the appearance of the drawing

Thanks, but I have that unchecked, and it still switches to paperspace if I hover over the drawing tab for more than a few seconds and go down to click on something on the drawing. It thinks I am selecting a paperspace. I looked for a setting to disable that but haven't found anything yet.

If I click a drawing tab, and then hesitate for a couple of seconds, then I want to click on something right under tab, it selects paper-space, (see images)

Consider FILETABTHUMBHOVER =0

I just tried FILETABTHUMBHOVER = 0 and it still shows the paperspace 😞

Actually setting FILETABTHUMBHOVER=0  helped. Before it would automatically select paperspace, now it still pops up, but you have to actually click on paperspace. This helps me a lot, thanks.

@Anonymous ,

You may also consider changing FILETABPREVIEW = 0

Awesome! Now it's just a small little menu that you have to click. This is much better. I've been dealing with this for years! Thanks so much, this is my first post, I guess I should have been asking questions here more often 😀
