Dimensioning in paper space

[Discus84]

Hi,

I always annotate in model space-it complicates changes to the model as there is more objects to encapsulate in stretch frames.

What is more effective - model or paperspace dimesioning -keeping annotations away from the model.?

I've never dimensioned in paper space. Too many things to go wrong. Also dimensions are weird, it's like they wanted to please everybody but wound up disappointing everybody.

I used to only work in model space and I would never have switched possibly if not for the new office that uses paper space  templates.. I see only one advantage of  this  : publishing automatically all selected pages at once vs  plot windows  from model space.

I would like to add another advantage of plotting in paper space is the ability to have multiple vports looking at the same area in the model but using different scales.

The problem is scaling dimensions and hatches. I usually copy a detail into completely separate space to edit and dimension this detail in paper space. Unless I'm missing something here..

Perhaps consider annotative dimensions & hatches

I have always dimensioned in paper space.  Never have experienced any problems.  No need to assign multiple scale factors.
