I started using AutoCAD since R14. At that time already had paperspace AutoCAD (or for the young ones are called layouts), but the use of modelspace still very common. And it seems that I teach AutoCAD too lazy to teach my layout. This is the problem when learning AutoCAD themselves from friends or taking part in training the less qualified. They are not too update the technology of the new version, and teach them the habit of working alone. In short, I never used to use modelspace to organize my pictures, until then I decided to use layout.
Many advantages are gained by using layouts. Here are 10 advantages do I conclude.
Simplify IMAGES
First, using the layout will simplify the picture. Below are some images with different scales. How we do it in modelspace? We strongly object to draw it several times (by copying). If you have any detailed pictures, then you should copy it and menskalanya. May need to trim to spruce up that image. When we have to do the repair the image, then we have to update each image manually.

Now, if we use a layout, it will provide the following benefits:
1. We always draw a scale of 1:1
No matter if at the time of printing your images there are several scales at once. Want to 1:1, 1:10, 1:100 in one paper, we always draw a full scale 1:1. Even beginners do not have to think much to the problem of scale when completing the picture.
Using modelspace? We must determine the main picture, then other parts must be scaled, to make a different dimension styles, etc..

2. Displaying Different Parts of a model
We simply draw one-time to full-scale, but we can display it a few times in our image. Simply by making some viewport. Sometimes we need it because our pictures are too big for one paper only, and sometimes we need to display the details of our image.
When there are changes, we simply update the image in modelspace, and all the viewport will be updated. No need to update each image manually.
3. No Need Many Styles

3. No Need Many Styles
Note the picture below. Below is a picture of the steps and details. Details prepared by scaling part of the image of the stairs. Because the detail that was not the scale of 1:1, when we need to add dimension, we must create a new dimension style. If the details of the scaled 4 times, then the dimension style we need to be corrected with a scale factor 1 / 4.
Confused? No problem. This problem can not be described in paragraphs 1-2.

You have to move from one style to another dimension. This can be confusing and lets you make a mistake. What if you have a 4-5 scale in a single image? What if you have several sheets in model space? You will have plenty of styles to be used!
4. Easy Control Scale Figure
With layout, scale becomes very easy to control. As mentioned in No. 1, we only need to draw a full scale. We can easily adjust the scale on the layout.
You can create a viewport, select it, and change the scale through the viewport scale in the lower right list.

If you want to see the use of viewport scale, can see YouTube videos on this paper.
ONE FIGURE, MANY REPRESENTATIONS
modelspace if we work with, we treat it like drawing on paper manually. When you need to display one model several times, then you must copy it to display every time. Layout allows you to draw only once, show them with different styles. Not only the scale, as already discussed in no.2.

5. The orientation of a Different Angle
Each viewport can be made to have a different orientation angles. Suppose you need a display siteplan accordance with the direction of the north designs. You can display the same image with different angles. It's easy to do in layout.

6. Different images with Layer Properties per Viewport
Since AutoCAD 2008, we have this feature. We can set the layer properties are different for each viewport. For example, you can display the hatch on the image detail, but hid it in a large-scale image.
You can see an example of using the layer properties per viewport in this paper.

7. The advantage of the Annotation Scaling
Another feature that can be utilized with the layout is annotation scaling. We can use it in model space, but the biggest advantage gained by using layouts.

Annotation scaling can make annotations are always legible, even at different scales.
IMAGE MANAGEMENT AND AUTOMATION
With define layout, we tell AutoCAD to recognize our papers. This allows us to use other features associated with the layout for the management and automate some processes.

8. Controlling Print Settings Easily
Print settings are very easy to use when you are using a layout. Remember, we always use the full scale, whether in modelspace or in the page setup.
The only thing we change the scale only in paperspace, and the way he is also very easy. Compare if you use modelspace. You have to change the scale in modelspace, and also in this print dialog.

By using the layout, we just change the paper size, and always use a scale of 1:1. Print margin is shown with dashed lines. Quite easy to understand and predict the results printed.
9. Advantages Sheet Set
Sheet sets are a nice feature for your image management. There are some white paper here that you can learn if you are interested. In short, we can arrange for the drawing more regularly and easily accessible, wherever the location of each file. Once we have a set of images, we can use eTransmit and send the entire project in one zip file. We can also plot the entire drawing project with ease, just a few clicks.

Some other advantages are using sheet set fields. Sheet sets have several properties that allow the text automatically appear in the title block. Like the project name, no paper, etc.. You can even create a list of the contents of images automatically.
10. Batch Plot
If you are still reluctant to use the sheet set, you can still use batch plot. Batch plot allows you to print hundreds of pictures at once without having to open the files one by one, even to multiple printers at once!How about you?
Are you already using a layout? If not, what do you think modelspace advantages compared to using a layout? And if so, do you have another reason why we should use the layout?
