In this video, I explain the real difference between Model Space and Paper Space in AutoCAD — and how viewport scale actually works.
You’ll learn:
Why Model Space is always drawn full size
How Paper Space controls scale
What a viewport really does
How to calculate scale factor (like 1/2″ = 1′-0″)
Where scaling actually happens in AutoCAD
If you’ve ever struggled with drawings plotting at the wrong size, this video will clarify the system.
This is part of a mini-series on AutoCAD scaling.
