Hi grandmaster, first of all you must decide some things.

1. Will it be printed at A4, A3 or bigger?

2. Decide scale (1:50, 1:20 etc)

3. All views will be in one page or separate?

Let's create the printed page first at layout mode.

1. Switch to "Layout" view by clicking the button next to "Model"

2. You are now in layout.

3. Right-click on "Layout" button and choose "Page setup manager"

4. "Layout1" is highlighted, choose "Modify"

5. Select your printer, paper size, the drawing orientation and leave scale to 1:1

6. Press OK>Close after finishing

Now, you have the printed page border and a rectangle (the viewport) which includes your model drawing.

You can select it with your mouse and scale it to the appropriate size by picking the corners.

If you want a specific scale (1:5, 1:10 etc), do the following:

1. Double click into the viewport border.

2. Set the view to plan, axonometric, front, whatever.

3. Zoom close to the desired result.

4. Type: Z(enter)>SC(enter)1/(your desired scale)XP(enter)

5. Use "Pan" command to align the drawing.

CAREFUL with the mouse wheel because you'll damage the scale.

6. Double click outside of the viewport, and you are ready!

Autocad ships with some standard title blocks, so just go to "File" > "New" and check out some of the template files. A few of them include title blocks.

Or Google Autocad Title Blocks. You can find information, tutorials, and in some cases, free title blocks.
