Paper space and Model space layout

[Code_x]

Hi, I'm using AutoCAD 2024 and was wondering if there are any shortcuts or commands that would allow me to switch between paper space layout and model space layout using a combination of shortcut.  Please advise.

hey, 

eg. you may add shortcuts to the commands pspace and mspace via customization.

Is the MODEL/PAPER toggle button in the Status Bar not a short-enough cut?

Are you aware of VPMAX and VPMIN commands @Code_x 

Or do you just need the functions of PSPSACE and MSPACE commands?

OR... TILEMODE=1 and TILEMODE=0?

Your post is unclear on your exact need.

Once you decide... all you need to do is start CUI command and

When I'm in the paper space and typing 'Mspace,' it takes me to the viewport on the sheet, but not to the actual model space. I wonder why?

If you are in a Layout tab, with a Viewport active, that's what happens.

Try just picking the "Model" tab (lower Left of screen) instead if you want to see the Model space.

I discovered the solution to my own question: Ctrl+PageDown or Ctrl+PageUp switches between the model tab and the layout tab.

That's 2 key clicks, vs 1 mouse click, but if it feels good - do it.

That's not 'switching', that's cycling: great only if you have the one and only layout

TILEMODE command set to 0 or 1 is "switching".

This is a Goto for layouts, handy when you have lots of layouts, just enter a number for the layout starts at 1, Model is 0.

Is this what you are after?

(defun c:tm ()
 (if (= (getvar "TILEMODE") 1)
   (command "tilemode" 0)
   (command "tilemode" 1)
 )
 (princ)
)

If indeed that is what they're after, there's a shorter way to toggle something with values of only 0 & 1 to toggle between -- no checking the current value is needed:
(setvar 'tilemode (- 1 (getvar 'tilemode)))
