CAD Practices - Where do you put revision clouds/triangles? Paper or Model space

[BrianBenton]

This discussion came up in our office and I was looking for some feedback. We are a civil engineering firm focusing on land development.

Where do you feel drawing revision clouds should be placed in a CAD file? Model Space or Paper Space? Why/why not?

Hi,

Since there is NO a special code for such case , i think this issue is related on how things are going on in your firm . i mean that those revision clouds are usually used to highlight for some thing ( Changes ) to others . and that means that it's a Temp issue . for me there is NO difference where to put revision clouds because i will delete it after taking a copy from those original .dwg  files to another folder with special names . and keep modifying triangles in the frame sheet and as known . 

SO revision clouds will be delete it  and revision triangles will be always there in the frame sheet . 

Regards,

We typically place our revision clouds/triangles in paper space. They're far easier to delete that way, since at most we may have a title block, sheet title, and a north arrow in paper space and that's it.

With every new revision to a sheet, we delete the previous revision on that sheet. So being able to quickly select and delete all the clouds and triangles is important for us.

Put them in the same space as other annotations.

Paper space, invariably.

It's not relevant to the model. and often a single revised object will span multiple viewports/sheets.  Having it in a model space makes zero sense, since it's information that is there to indicate changes -- not to be a change.

To you. For others, who may have multiple documents showing the same area, it doesn't make sense to do it multiple times in paper space, i.e. for a sketch and the original sheet.

Paperspace also (multi-discipline engineering firm) along with general notes, similar annotation entities and things like sheet borders, etc.

I suppose one could argue putting them into an external reference should the area in question (revision) display across multiple drawings -- reduce effort in duplication; high probability of vport cutoffs and other alignment issues with this approach.

Paperspace gets my vote.....

I think that depend on designer's favoriate.  for me ,I'd like put it at Paper space.   just want to make Model space focus on Model itself.
