Procedure for surrounding drawing with paper border and Title Block

[chubarka]

If a paper border line and Title block is desired on a drawing is the border and title block called up first, and the drawing drawn within it's confines? What is the procedure here?

I generally do the drawing, then import whatever size layout I need. Adding notes and dimensions is always last.

The drawing goes in modelspace drawn at FULL SIZE. The title block and border go in paperspace, also drawn at FULL SIZE, then a viewport is placed in paperspace within the empty space inside the border. Activate the viewport, zoom to the drawing portion you wish to show in the viewport, and assign the appropriate scale to the viewport.
