Hi Sam,

I create addional layers for my 'print spaces' (I call it a "PageSpace"), one for each page/view.  Each PageSpace layer contains a page border (or page template) proportional to the paper size to create a 'window' around the detail / elevation / etc. I want on a separate page.  By turning off all layers except the current PageSpace and then with Print Preview, establish the position, scale, etc.  Turn on the layers to be printed in that view and then (without changing scale or anything else) print the view.  If the page margins are setup  and match the page border you can get a clean print, otherwise you can end up with artifacts in the margins.  So in one drawing I could have:
   [PageSpace - Elevations] with a scale on 1/32 on Tabloid
   [PageSpace - X-section] with a scale of 1/8 on Letter
   ...

I ended up creating my own drawing template with title blocks, one for each paper size I use.
