    So you are saying that in the Architectural Field, all text should be in Paper Space? I use paper space for title block and border, general notes drawing title and north arrow with all text relating to the model in model space and this seems to work.

    Why would you use paper space for all text?

    Thanks

    When I developed that perspective, I was working in a multi-discipline firm. The engineers did not want any text in the architectural files.

    I now work in an architecture office with no engineers. We are using ADT. All the text goes in a View file,which is separate from the Construct.

    Keeping the model file/master file clean is a priority, but whatever works – works. The main thing is that everyone does it the same way.
