Does anybody know where I can get a good tutorial on Paperspace ?

Thanks in advance

Draftingallday,

There are many second hand books available on AutoCAD R12 and they walk you through paperspace in detail. These can be purchased for just a few dollars.

I remember reading a book that used the example:

The model (drawing) is located in a shed and using paperspace you can punch any size hole through the shed walls, floor or ceiling and view the model (drawing) from any angle.
To view the model (drawing) at differing scales it is just like getting closer or further away from your punched hole in the shed, you use zoom x/p in the punched hole.

I have used this example for my clients and they seem to obtain a good grasp of the concept.

Don't want to post a question - email me direct on john@acecad.com.au

Thanks for the advice. Would I be able to use newer books instead of Autocad R12 ? Those books aren't readily avalible in my area. Is there anything on the net that I could start on before I find a book ?

Thanks again.

I found these on the web..... http://www.greerdesign.com/volume1_issue1.html http://www.greerdesign.com/volume1_issue2.html http://www.greerdesign.com/paperspa.htm

They might be of some use to you.
