When you define a custom border, you can also define connection points for title block placement. Although you typically locate a connection point somewhere on the drawing border, you can also place a connection point anywhere on the drawing.

Create a custom border. On the ribbon, click Sketch tab Draw panel Point , and place a connection point. Select the new point and click Sketch tabFormat panel Connection Point Grip. In the graphics window, right-click and select Save Border. Enter the name of the new border.

When you place a title block, the outermost corner of the title block, relative to the center of the drawing, attaches to the connection point. If you have more than one connection point per drawing quadrant, the title block attaches to the point furthest from the center of the drawing.
