# MVSETUP Command [GstarCAD 2027](Help%20System/GSTARCAD/2027/Index.md) → [Commands](Help%20System/GSTARCAD/2027/Commands/(Commands).md) → [M](Help%20System/GSTARCAD/2027/Commands/M/(M).md) ## Function Description: This command is used to set up the specifications of a drawing. ## Command Access: > **Icon:** / > **Menu:** / > **Ribbon:** / > **Toolbar:** / > **Command:** MVSETUP > **Alias:** / **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. --- **Related References：** - [Commands about Layout Viewports (GstarCAD 2026)](../../../2026/Commands/00%20Command%20Groups/Commands%20about%20Layout%20Viewports.md) **Related Tasks：** - [To Change Template Settings (GstarCAD 2026)](../../../2026/Commands/01%20Procedures/To%20Change%20Template%20Settings.md) - [To Start a New Drawing (GstarCAD 2026)](../../../2026/Commands/01%20Procedures/To%20Start%20a%20New%20Drawing.md) --- [Original help](https://www.gstarcad.net/help/GstarCAD_2027_en-US/detail/commandReferences_M/MVSETUP.html) · © Gstarsoft Co., Ltd.
