I need to create a block that can be inserted into any drawing. I read one article that said to create an external block, but can't seem to find any other reference to that type of a block. What I want to do is simply create a title block that can be reused on all drawings. I know this has probably been done and discussed over and over, just cant seem to find it.
Many thanks.

Re: External Block
Couldn't you just draw your title block one time and save it to the library? I'm having trouble saving anything in the library right now, but I hope to solve that problem with help from this forum.
Re: External Block
Yes, the recommended way is to save your drawing border as a regular drawing into QCAD Installation Path/libraries/templates/metric (or imperial).
You can then insert the border as block anytime using the part library browser (View > Library Browser).
If you start a new drawing, you can use the border as drawing template (File > New from Template...)
