    Ron, what exactly did you do that did not work, I mean, what steps did you unsuccessfully take?

    Were I to want to do that, I would copy-paste my 2D stuff from an old layout into a plan view plan, CAD Detail window, and then copy-paste it into a blank layout, did that not work or did you do something else, I wonder?

    David,

    I have my std border which is an X5 plan, I rrought up the X6 border and erased all the chief titleblock stuff that I did nor want. I then attempted to send my std border to the X6 layourt to no avail.

    Try this...Select what you want to bring over to X6 from the X5 layout...block it and save to to your library, open new X6 layout, get rid of what you don't want...then insert saved block, explode and edit as needed.

    Your welcome, it worked for me when I brought my TB's forward. Just be sure there is nothing coming forward with your TB from a previous plan file, like an elevation view or anything from the last plan you may have inserted into the layout. It will continue to reference the old plan file which you definitely don't want.
