Paper space or Model space?

[beng2004]

My company is debating to draw in model space or paper (layouts) space. We are a construction company and the majority of our sections and details are already drawn with text and leaders. We currently have a library index and insert these files as blocks into our model space. There is very little modifying of these blocks. Most of these parts were created on ACAD r9 or r14, so at this time none of the leaders are associative. Our title block is also inserted into the model space and set up with 1/8" = 1'-0" enviroment. We'd like to know if anyone could give us their thoughts on using paper or model space. We currently have 2000+ library parts and 30 different draftsmen.

draw in model space and plot in paper space--thats the rule.

draw in model space. key notes, general notes, schedules, tables, drawing border, drawing title blocks go in paper space, and yes plot in paper space. the reason being it's easy to keep text the same size no mater what scale size you are plotting at in paper space.
