Delete viewport but leave the view in paper space 1

[frankreid]

I normally work in full 2008 and do all the layout work of the components in model space. Then I go to paper space and bring in the drawing formats (title blocks) and open up viewports for dimensioning and other annotation. When I delivered the file to my customer they weren't able to work with it in their normal way. They use Autocad LT 2009 and draw everything on layer 0 (zero) and don't use any other layers. Everything is white on black on the single layer. They want me to use their software at their site to change the file that way.

My question is this: Is there a way in the LT to pull the image out of the viewport, delete it, and leave the view in place. Or maybe copy it to the paper space. I can, of course, just copy the view in model space, switch to paper space and paste it down and change the scale. I was hoping for a quicker way.

Thanks. You guys are great!

You can bring in your titleblock from paper space to model space, appropriately scale the titleblock in which your drawing will be moved to, then make a wblock of the whole drawing which will require a new filename. Open the Wblock filename and insert the entire drawing including the titlblock into the zero layer.

Are you familiar with the CHSPACE "change space" command?

WOW! The CHSPACE command worked perfectly. Thanks a bunch.

CHSPACE is an amazing command that comes in really handy when working with other offices! I am kind of curious is there another command like this to do the same thing?
