Plot Setup

I'm afraid I still don't understand the subtleties of setting up drawings for plotting. I have a titleblock family set up for 11x17, and have Titleblock lines around the perimeter of the plotting area. The titleblock line work doesn't appear when I bring the family into a drawing, (which is what I want), but no matter how I set the print setup parameters, I only get a partial plot. In AutoCAD terms, what I am looking for is a way to print the entire limits of the 11x17 regardless if the Views on the sheet fill the whole sheet. Can anyone please point me to a video I can look at it. Thank you!!

First off, Revit is WYSIWYG printing. In other words, it prints only what the view/sheet shows.  

 

Second, it sounds like you want to print everything you see on the screen onto an 11x17 (e.g. Fit to page).

Choose 11×17 page size when print, set print 100%, no offset.

Thank you both for your replies. I had tried both of your solutions with no success, which meant to me that if I was proceeding correctly, but still getting wrong results, something must be wrong with the family. I started a new titleblock from scratch and it works fine now. Thanks again. I 'accepted' both  of your solutions.
