1
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:15,000
So one of the things that can well, people can think it's an issue.

2
00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:20,000
It's not an issue, but it's when you copy in between model space and paper space.

3
00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:27,000
So we have some lights in here and let's just say we've got a couple of other objects and we want to

4
00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:29,000
make a bit of a legend down here.

5
00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:30,000
So we want to.

6
00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:33,000
Show what these symbols mean.

7
00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:38,000
Well, we already have this light as a block in our drawing, so we can go now.

8
00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:39,000
Insert.

9
00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:44,000
And we can click this and we can see all the blocks in our drawing.

10
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:46,000
If we wanted to insert any more.

11
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:54,000
And we select light and we bring that in and you can see because everything is drawn actual size and

12
00:00:54,000 --> 00:01:00,000
this was created in model space, it will come in actual size in your drawing and that's way too big.

13
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:07,000
So then you need to do scale and you need to work out here, well, what do I scale it down by?

14
00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:11,000
Maybe I'll scale it down by two, maybe I'll scale it down by 0.1, who knows?

15
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:16,000
But and I see people doing it by eye and trying to get it right and then.

16
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:19,000
Okay, you don't need to do any of that.

17
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:26,000
If you want to move something between spaces and you want it to remain in the size, whether that's

18
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:33,000
a line type, size, an object size, whatever, there is a command that not many people know actually,

19
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:37,000
and it's called space and I'll show you that now.

20
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:44,000
So double click to go into your tiled model space and then you can select the light and just copy it

21
00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:50,000
just somewhere to the side like that and right click okay.

22
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:58,000
And then type in c h space just like that and press return.

23
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:04,000
And now it's going to ask to select an object, select the object, right click.

24
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:05,000
Okay.

25
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:08,000
And it looks like nothing's happened.

26
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:14,000
But what we've done, we've moved out of tiled models, but I can't select, I can only select things

27
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:15,000
in paper space.

28
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:20,000
Now I can't select these lights, can't select walls, I can select the text and the dimensions because

29
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:20,000
I'm in paper space.

30
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:22,000
That's how I know I'm in paper space.

31
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:25,000
But if I click this, I can I can select that light, you see.

32
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:27,000
So I can't select this one.

33
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:28,000
Sorry.

34
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:30,000
Just got into it.

35
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:31,000
So I can't select this one.

36
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:40,000
I can't select these lights, but I can select this one because that space command, it will it will

37
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:45,000
move something from one space to another, but keep it looking exactly how it looks.

38
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:49,000
It's a brilliant command and not many people know it exists.

39
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:53,000
And it's great for doing legends because now you know.

40
00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:57,000
So if I was to, let's say

41
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:06,000
oops, because now, you know, let's say I was to create a legend here.

42
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:17,000
Okay.

43
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:35,000
And you can go as my underline and I'm going to do, I'm going to say light fitting.

44
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:37,000
Get rid of that.

45
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:38,000
Okay.

46
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:41,000
And maybe you had some other things.

47
00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:45,000
Maybe you had, um, I don't know, radiator,

48
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:50,000
air con unit.

49
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:55,000
Um, could be anything at all.

50
00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:57,000
Maybe

51
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:01,000
light switch.

52
00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:02,000
And it goes on.

53
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:04,000
You get a big long list of items.

54
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:10,000
All you need to do is use that space to drag them in from the model space.

55
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:17,000
And it I'm just going to, I'm just going to use this symbol for everything because it's just an example

56
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:19,000
and you create a nice legend like that.

57
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:22,000
And then you could copy that legend.

58
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:26,000
And paste it.

59
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:29,000
Into each drawing.

60
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:34,000
Okay, Now here, for instance.

61
00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:38,000
Let me delete that, because this is a this is a good example.

62
00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:40,000
So.

63
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:46,000
This is a different size here, so that legend wouldn't look right.

64
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:48,000
So what we can do, we can double click.

65
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:50,000
Just copy one.

66
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:54,000
Type space.

67
00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:56,000
Select the object.

68
00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:56,000
Right click.

69
00:04:56,000 --> 00:05:01,000
And you can see because the viewport has disappeared, we know we've gone into paper space.

70
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:07,000
And now that will look okay.

71
00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:09,000
Forget about these.

72
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:10,000
Whatever symbol they are.

73
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:11,000
You can do the same.

74
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:19,000
Now we've got a new legend for a different scale drawing, which we can copy.

75
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:25,000
Maybe place there like that.

76
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:28,000
Okay, So change space.

77
00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:30,000
It's a great command.

78
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:33,000
Not many people know it exists, especially for doing legends.

79
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:34,000
It's brilliant.
