Detail View Viewports inside a Viewport Border

Hey guys,

 

Got a stumper today.

I'm trying to show a scaled drawing of a metal frame, and on the same sheet, show full size blow ups of each of the welded corner joints.  We have a template drawing setup to do this, but as we can only get 5 viewports on 1 sheet, I need multiple sheets.  I had the genius idea of using 1 drawing and adding extra layout tabs for the additional pages so that when I make any changes, the whole thing updates, rather than having to create a new sheet each time, and copy my original drawing for every sheet used, and being limited to only 5 viewports.

Thinking this would be easy, I open layout tab 2, and it won't let me insert or copy over the drawing border, let alone any of the viewports.  saying something about "Duplicate definition of block dtitle (the block name) ignored.

 

Is using layout tabs the right way to go?  So I can pull all the details from the same drawing, yes, right?

So then how do I set it up so I can also use the same border block?   I don't have to rename the block each time, do I?

 

Suggestions, anyone...?

 

Thanks,
