...Do you have any step by step procedure for paper space.
I always use model space but maybe it is a right time to utilize this

This video shows step by step procedures for adding viewports: 1/4" scale framing plan and then 1" scale sections. The drawing used in this video download link: 030209-AddViewPort.dwg

Comments:

1. For using PaperSpace you should have title block inserted as a block or attached as XReference in PaperSpace.

2. Check PSltscale and Visretain variables. Both should be 1.

3. For ViewPorts better to have special layer (call it for instance VP or ViewPort) with Not Plot property - see image below.

 

 

4. In order to avoid accidental change of the scale of ViewPort it is recommended to lock it (shown in video).

 

More effectively you can work with PaperSpace using QuickViewPort program.
