 This is my first ? using the Exchange Forum.
My ? is I would like to make an object in model space but keep the dim and text in paper space and create a block to add to my pallets. Any suggestions would be great. Thanks!

 I don't think so. I tried this test on the command line and it won't let you add entities to a block if their not in the same space. I set ent1 to an object in paper space and then set ent2 to an object in model space. It did not add the 1 that was not in current space.
