Create Single-View Drawings (Model Space)

To create a two dimensional drawing that has one view, you can create the
drawing and its annotation entirely in model space. This is the traditional
method for creating drawings with AutoCAD LT.
With this method, you create the building, mechanical part, or geographic area
that you want to represent at full scale (1:1), but you create the text, dimensions,
and the title block of the drawing at a scale to match the intended plot scale.

Quick Start for Model Space Drafting

The process of creating and plotting a drawing file in model space is very
different from the process used in manual drafting.
In AutoCAD LT, there are two distinct working environments that are represented
by Model and named layouts.
If you are going to create a two-dimensional drawing that has one view, you
can create both the model and its annotation entirely in model space, not using
a layout. This is the traditional method for creating drawings with AutoCAD
LT. This method is simple but has several limitations, including
It is suitable for 2D drawings only
It does not support multiple views and view-dependent layer settings
Scaling the annotation and title block requires computation unless you use
objects.
