How to Insert a Drawing Sheet in Paper Space in AutoCAD





1. Create the drawing sheet that you want to insert. Do this in Model Space and draw it at a size that fits onto the sheet of paper you want to print on. Include a border and a title block with spaces for drawing title and date, scale and other necessary information.
2. Once you have created the drawing sheet, make it into a block and then save the drawing, remembering where you have saved it. By creating a block, your drawing sheet is now usable in any drawing.

3. Open the drawing you want to use the drawing sheet in. Go to a layout tab set to the paper size you need and then open the AutoCAD Design Center by pressing Ctrl 2.
4. In the Design Center, navigate to where you saved your drawing sheet. Click on the drawing file and a set of icons will appear in the right-hand pane of the Design Center. Click on the Blocks icon.
5. Your drawing sheet block will be shown as a small preview. Click and drag the block onto the layout. You can now edit the text in the title block to show what the drawing is. Adjust the Viewport to make sure the drawing is not obscured by the drawing sheet's title block.
