I am working on a large project which requires multiple sheets and multiple Work Areas. Typically each sheets has its own work area but each sheet also shows a little bit of overlap onto the surrounding areas. I want to be able to only show plant labels for their respective work spaces on a given sheet. I know you can do labels in model space but i dislike this method. Thoughts / Solutions?

If you are putting the labels into Paperspace, then why not just set that option in Preferences, and have the labels moved to paperspace automatically?

Hank,
We actually have a pending wishlist item that will give you the option of including a work area suffix to whatever is placed within a given work area. This will make it a lot easier to adjust the viewport layers to show what is within your work areas. For now you can achieve this by:
1-Placing a work area
2-Labeling the plants within the work area
3-Select all labels and move them to a different layer
4-Repeat for all other work areas
This should allow you to control the given areas within the viewport much easier.
You might even want to check out our New Viewport tool as well.

Thanks Jake,
I look forward to the new tool. The leader lines work perfectly with the provided solution however only problem I'm running into is that all the call outs freeze regardless of what layer you move them to. I guess this is because all the call out blocks reference the same block files which were drafted on their own layer. My work around has been to block all the pertinent labels and paste into paper space.
