MVSETUP Sets up the specifications of a drawing Command line: mvsetup When you enter mvsetup at the command line, the prompts displayed depend on whether you are on the MVSETUP on the Model Tab or on a MVSETUP on a Layout Tab. On the Model tab, you set the units type, drawing scale factor, and paper size from the command line using MVSETUP. Using the settings you provide, a rectangular border is drawn at the grid limits. On a layout tab, you can insert one of several predefined title blocks into the drawing and create a set of layout viewports within the title block. You can specify a global scale as the ratio between the scale of the title block in the layout and the drawing on the Model tab. The Model tab is most useful for plotting multiple views of a drawing within a single border. 718 | Chapter 14 To easily specify all layout page settings and prepare your drawing for plotting, you can also use the Page Setup dialog box, which is automatically displayed when you select a layout in a new drawing session. MVSETUP on the Model Tab When the TILEMODE system variable is on (the default), the following prompt is displayed: Enable paper space?[No/Yes] <Y>: Enter n or press ENTER Pressing ENTER turns off TILEMODE and proceeds as described in the following section, "MVSETUP on a Layout Tab" on page 719 Entering n displays the following prompt: Enter units type [Scientific/Decimal/Engineering/Architectural/Metric]: Enter an option A list of available units and prompts for the scale factor and paper size are displayed.
