Still struggling with borders

[matt____jackson]

I'm still struggling with the concept of how to insert a border around my drawing.

I've created a border with my company logo etc in a standalone dxf file. In my new drawings, I add this in from the Library Browser and it inserts it in a new block. Am I correct so far?

What I can't then get my head round is how this appears on my 'Layout1 (*Paper_Space). Do I insert a viewport to get it to appear? I see in the flange.dxf example that border is called a 'Block Reference' in the Property Editor?

If you want to work with layouts and viewports, insert the border into the layout block, not into your main drawing (model space).
Please refer also to this tutorial:

You can also work without layouts and viewports:
