## Command Prompts:
Different prompts are displayed, depending on whether you are currently in Model
space or Paper space in a named layout.
## MVSETUP in Model Space
Instead of using layouts in paper space, you can set up a drawing for
plotting directly from model space. When the TILEMODE system variable is set to
1 (model space is active and paper space is turned off), the following prompt is
displayed:
Enable paper space? \[No/Yes\] \<Y\>:
- Y: Sets TILEMODE to 0 and proceeds using MVSETUP in paper space on a
layout.
- N: Displays a list of available units and prompts for the
scale factor and paper size:
Enter units type
\[Scientific/Decimal/Engineering/Architectural/Metric\]:
## MVSETUP in Paper Space
On a named layout, you can insert a title block into the drawing, and create
a set of layout viewports in the title block area. When the TILEMODE system
variable is off, or when you enter y or press Enter at the Enable Paper Space
prompt, the following prompts are displayed.
Enter an option \[Align/Create/Scale viewports/Options/Title
block/Undo\]:
- **Align:** Pans the view in a viewport so that it aligns with a
base point in another viewport. The current viewport is the viewport that the
other point moves to.
- **Create:** Creates viewports.
- **Scale viewports:** Adjusts the zoom scale factor of the objects displayed in the
layout viewports. The zoom scale factor is a ratio between the scale of the
border in paper space and the scale of the drawing objects displayed in the
viewports.
- **Options:** Sets the MVSETUP preferences before you change your drawing.
- **Title block:** Prepares paper space, orients the drawing by setting the origin,
and creates a drawing border and a title block.
- **Undo:** Reverses operations performed in the current MVSETUP session.
