How do I use a title block from a size B drawing in a size A drawing?

We recently upgraded from the 2015 edition to the 2020 edition. I was able to reuse my size B drawing template by chance, but my size A template appears to have disappeared. The title block was the same on both templates.

I have attempted to copy and paste the title block from one drawing to another, but it copies the sheet size too, so that doesn't help.

 

What should I do?

Correct Answer
  1. Open a new B size drawing.
  2. Right-click on a blank part of the sheet and select "Edit sheet format" from the drop-down.
  3. Box-select the title block lines, notes, etc. and Ctrl+C.
  4. Exit "Edit sheet format" mode.
  5. Open a new sheet with your A size sheet format.
  6. Edit sheet format, click near where you want the title block, and paste.  Don't click anywhere else so the copied title block entities stay selected and you should be able to move them together to get them where you want.
  7. Exit "sheet format mode" and save the sheet format.

 

While I was typing this something occurred to me.  Open one of your A size sheets and make sure the box indicated by the red star below is checked.  (That screenshot is from What's the difference between a sheet format and drawing template?.  There might be some other information there that will be helpful.)
