Switch to a Paper Space Layout
 
 
 

From model space, you can switch to the last active paper space layout.

To switch to the last active paper space layout

  1. Set the ActiveSpace property to acPaperSpace: 
    ThisDrawing.ActiveSpace = acPaperSpace
  2. Toggle the MSpace property to FALSE:
ThisDrawing.MSpace = FALSE

When you are in paper space, AutoCAD displays the paper space user coordinate system (UCS) icon in the lower-left corner of the graphics area. The crosshairs indicate that the paper space layout area (not the views in the viewports) can be edited.
