So one of the things that can well, people can think it's an issue.
It's not an issue, but it's when you copy in between model space and paper space.
So we have some lights in here and let's just say we've got a couple of other objects and we want to
make a bit of a legend down here.
So we want to.
Show what these symbols mean.
Well, we already have this light as a block in our drawing, so we can go now.
Insert.
And we can click this and we can see all the blocks in our drawing.
If we wanted to insert any more.
And we select light and we bring that in and you can see because everything is drawn actual size and
this was created in model space, it will come in actual size in your drawing and that's way too big.
So then you need to do scale and you need to work out here, well, what do I scale it down by?
Maybe I'll scale it down by two, maybe I'll scale it down by 0.1, who knows?
But and I see people doing it by eye and trying to get it right and then.
Okay, you don't need to do any of that.
If you want to move something between spaces and you want it to remain in the size, whether that's
a line type, size, an object size, whatever, there is a command that not many people know actually,
and it's called space and I'll show you that now.
So double click to go into your tiled model space and then you can select the light and just copy it
just somewhere to the side like that and right click okay.
And then type in c h space just like that and press return.
And now it's going to ask to select an object, select the object, right click.
Okay.
And it looks like nothing's happened.
But what we've done, we've moved out of tiled models, but I can't select, I can only select things
in paper space.
Now I can't select these lights, can't select walls, I can select the text and the dimensions because
I'm in paper space.
That's how I know I'm in paper space.
But if I click this, I can I can select that light, you see.
So I can't select this one.
Sorry.
Just got into it.
So I can't select this one.
I can't select these lights, but I can select this one because that space command, it will it will
move something from one space to another, but keep it looking exactly how it looks.
It's a brilliant command and not many people know it exists.
And it's great for doing legends because now you know.
So if I was to, let's say
oops, because now, you know, let's say I was to create a legend here.
Okay.
And you can go as my underline and I'm going to do, I'm going to say light fitting.
Get rid of that.
Okay.
And maybe you had some other things.
Maybe you had, um, I don't know, radiator,
air con unit.
Um, could be anything at all.
Maybe
light switch.
And it goes on.
You get a big long list of items.
All you need to do is use that space to drag them in from the model space.
And it I'm just going to, I'm just going to use this symbol for everything because it's just an example
and you create a nice legend like that.
And then you could copy that legend.
And paste it.
Into each drawing.
Okay, Now here, for instance.
Let me delete that, because this is a this is a good example.
So.
This is a different size here, so that legend wouldn't look right.
So what we can do, we can double click.
Just copy one.
Type space.
Select the object.
Right click.
And you can see because the viewport has disappeared, we know we've gone into paper space.
And now that will look okay.
Forget about these.
Whatever symbol they are.
You can do the same.
Now we've got a new legend for a different scale drawing, which we can copy.
Maybe place there like that.
Okay, So change space.
It's a great command.
Not many people know it exists, especially for doing legends.
It's brilliant.
