Importing Viewports without the Model

We currently have our detail views in paperspace only. Model space is empty for all of our detail template files. Nearly all of our details are not drawn to scale, nor are they accurate to their own proportions. All dimensions for the details are on override. The reason for this is that when we import these paperspace details into new sheets on separate civil dwgs, we do not want the model space from the detail templates interfering with the civil model space. This is why the detail template files are drawn in paperspace.

 

Is there a way to draw all details in model space, link to paperspace with viewports, and then import the paperspace with all the viewports into another document without the model space tagging along and throwing itself all over the new documents model space.


Basically I want to draw our details in model space so they are accurate and easy to change, then viewport them to paperspace. I then want to copy/import the paperspace into another document, but I do not want the model space to come with it. If model space does tag along with the viewports, then they will overlay on top of the existing documents model. Any suggestions on how to somehow achieve this or a similar result?

Explore using the CHSPACE command. That will let you draw in model space and then move you details to paper space.

Consider XREF your model space details.
