An AutoCAD Hip Tip on Changing Spaces!

This seems like a very handy tip. I wonder if it is easy enough to use in a way where you could lay everything out in model space, including your title block.
I usually hate AutoCAD tips because they are stupid or old news, but this one is pretty cool. It is really helpful since you can do all your dimensions in Paper space so they look nice, and then send them to Model so they dont get messed up. As to what Alex said, I actually have made my Paper space look like Model space, all black, no paper or print area. Then I lay out all my pages in one layout tab and when I plot, I plot window. If I am using the correct size title block scaling isn't an issue, or if I don't care about scale, I just scale to fit.
