List of Prompts

In a layout, when in model space, the prompt is displayed as follows:

Specify paper space distance <1.000>: Enter a length in paper space to convert to the equivalent length in model space

In a layout, when in paper space, the prompt is displayed as follows:

Select a viewport: Pick a layout viewport object (this prompt is displayed when more than one viewport object is available in the layout)

Specify model space distance <1.000>: Enter a length in model space to convert to the equivalent length in paper space

SPACETRANS converts lengths, typically text heights, from either model space or paper space to its equivalent length in the other space. It is intended to be invoked transparently at a prompt for text height or other length value. When used at the Command prompt, SPACETRANS displays the computed length equivalent at the Command prompt.

NoteThis command is not available from the Model tab or in a perspective view.
