I always leave my border and title block in Pspace and do all drawing in
Mspace. It is simpler for me this way. The only text I have in Pspace is the
text that goes into the Titleblock.
As far as it being an addon, it used to be an addon to Acad but now that it
is integrated with ACAD, I don't know if it can be purchased as an addon. I
do know that if I want to upgrade I am going to have to buy ACAD 2004. I am
presently using ACAD 2002 with Via WD V16.1b.
Take care,
