Many times when I receive a drawing from an architect, when I go into the layout tab the titleblock info/XREF doesn't line up with the page layout. I would assume it lined up when the architect sent it to me in his software. For years the solution I use is to XREF the architects PDF in the layout and then go to print and change the Print Offset till it looked right in the print preview. Then I would apply it to the layout. I would then take the offsets and apply it to every sheet. This is a very time consuming process and was wondering if there is a better way to make this work and still keep the scales. I was also wondering if there was a way to move and align the layout on the fly in the paperspace.

I actually used their title block and their drawing as my base. I think you might have misunderstood why I Xref the PDF. I use it as an alignment tool so I can move my stuff around to match theirs. I think this might be a Revit DWG export, but sometimes it is an export from another such as archicad or vectorworks. Once I align it, I then unload the xref of the PDF. However, I am trying to figure out a faster way to line it all up. as right now I move items around on the paperspace and also change things in the print setup and then "apply to layout". I think I am asking if there is a way to move things in the paperspace without having to use the "apply to layout"?
