Printed Title Block Size On Sheet & Exporting Detail (View) To Another Project

I am a self taught Revit dude, migrating after 32-years of AutoCAD; it's been fun with Revit.

Two items I need to get to know. Seen lots of tutorials but not getting these two topics.

 

PRINTING

Set up a project, the title block fits and looks good on the screen. After printing the sheet, the title block does not fit the print area, it's off about half and inch from the edge of a ledger size printed paper. Interestingly, in some sheets, they prints ok; I tried "Fit Page" options. I would rather not use this feature since I would like to have the printed sheets to scale instead of the easy way out of fitting the title block (sheet) to the printed page.

 

COPY DETAIL TO ANOTHER PROJECT

Seen a handful of tutorials on this but again, can't get it to work. I have a site plan in a sheet I need to copy to another sheet in another project. I tried as a Revit file, Family file and exported to AutoCAD. I would rather avoid the latter option. As a  Revit file, it imported but not visible. All the 'layers' seem on.

 

I would appreciate any help.

Thanks.

"Save As"=>"Library"="View".

Awesome! That created the view and I saved it to a "Views" folder, it is a ".RVT" file.
To bring in that view file, should I be in the VIEWS or SHEETS section in the Property Browser?
Now, I went to the project I need to import it into.
I went to the SHEET I need the view into:
  > Insert -> Insert from file ->Insert views from file -> [Selected the Revit file (View) I had saved from the other project.
  > I got this error:

Ah! No can do.  Sorry. Misunderstood what you were trying to achieve.

Maybe these images would explain it more.

What kind of view is that? Is it a Drafting View? If not, then you are out of luck.

Make sure you don't have any thing outside of the left side and below the bottom of the titleblock border (outside of the right side and above the top are fine), print 100% - no margin, to a paper size the size of your titleblock.  Do not print to fit and do not center on page.

It's a sheet view. The whole sheet with title block.

I talking about the actual Viewport on the Sheet  What view is the Viewport looking at?  That view itself must be a 2D view (not a model view) in order to do what you want to do.

Found the answer from the "Print Setup" window. I had it "Offset from corner" and "Fit to page".
I changed the zoom to 50% (11x17) since the sheet is half-size of full-size (32x22).

Are you saying you are not printing to scale?  I mean, these are not construction documents?  If they are, then Scale should be 100% to print to scale.
