How To Get Model Space Tab Back In AutoCAD?

Restoring the Model Space Tab in AutoCAD

The Model Space tab is essential for users working in AutoCAD, as it allows them to create and modify designs at a 1:1 scale. If you find your Model Space tab or Paper Space tabs missing, follow these detailed steps to restore them in AutoCAD 2025.

Step 1: Open the Options Window

1. Launch AutoCAD and ensure that your drawing area is visible.
2. Type OPTIONS directly into the command line and press Enter. Alternatively, navigate to the AutoCAD application menu on the top-left corner and select the Options button.

Step 2: Access the Display Tab

1. In the Options window, locate and click the Display tab. This section allows you to adjust visual elements of the user interface.

Step 3: Enable the Layout and Model Tabs

1. Under the Layout elements section, look for the checkbox labeled Display Layout and Model tabs.
2. Click on the checkbox to enable it. Ensure the box is checked, as this setting controls the visibility of the tabs.
3. Once checked, click OK to apply the changes and exit the Options window.

Step 4: Verify the Tabs’ Visibility

1. Look to the lower-left corner of your AutoCAD workspace. You should now see the Model tab alongside any layout tabs.
2. If the tabs are still not visible, it may be necessary to check your workspace settings to ensure they are configured to show these elements.

Troubleshooting Missing Tabs

• If the tabs are hidden, you can set the LAYOUTTAB system variable to 1:
  1. Type LAYOUTTAB into the command line and press Enter.
  2. Type 1 and press Enter again. This command ensures the tabs are displayed.

Accessing Model Space

To switch to Model Space after restoring the tab:

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: What is the difference between Model Space and Paper Space in AutoCAD?

Model Space is where you create designs at a 1:1 scale without any boundaries. Paper Space, on the other hand, is used to set up layouts for printing, which includes multiple viewports and other annotations.

Q2: How can I hide the Model Space tab if I need a cleaner workspace?

To hide the Model Space tab, go to the Options window, select the Display tab, and uncheck the box for Display Layout and Model tabs.

Q3: What should I do if changes do not take effect after following these steps?

If changes do not take effect, try restarting AutoCAD. If the problem persists, check whether you are using a customized workspace that could be causing the tabs to be hidden. You may need to reset your workspace settings.
