The Answer:

Step #1

You have to simulate the Print Preview in the drawing

For your large 1/200 print, look at the print preview, and see how the program breaks up the drawing. Make sure that Center Drawing in the print preview is turned off, so the drawing is in the upper-left corner of the panels.

Step #2

Determine your panel division Grid size in drawing units instead of paper units

The print preview cuts the drawing up into sections determined by the available printable area on the sheet size you've chosen, which is (Papersize - Margins). So find out how large those rectangles you're seeing in print preview are by first determining the printable area on each sheet of paper. Note that the margins are not always the same on all 4 sides of the paper, and will vary from driver to driver.

Step #3

Draw your Panel Division Grid lines as boxes and array them

Once you know how large those rectangles in print preview are, you know how large to make your boxes. Switch to another layer, turning off multi-layer editing, and draw a box. It must be scaled correctly in drawing units--not paper units. In other words, if those sections are 8"x11" sheets of paper, you've got to convert that size to whatever it would be in your drawing to know how large those boxes have to be for accurate panel division marks.

Then draw one box, position it in the upper‑left corner of the drawing, (like print preview), and use the array command to make the correct # of rows and columns, (Directions 1 & 2) to create a "grid" of division marks which overlay your drawing.

This grid shows where the panel divisions are, and is on another layer so you can turn it on or off as needed. Turn that layer on, do a Fit to Window, and you should be able to see on the screen what you see in Print Preview. Each box holds a section of the drawing, and those sections should be the same size as what the Print Preview was giving you when it showed you the panel divisions.

Step #4

Setting up the 1/200 layout in Paper Space Mode

Next go into Paper Space, choose the size of paper you're going to plot on, start a new template, draw your border and title block you want for the 1/200 printout, then create your view frame rectangle inside that, and the drawing will appear.

Click on the Drawing to select the view frame surrounding it, and click the large I icon in the toolbar to bring up the Info Box for that view frame. Click the Specific Scale radio button at the bottom of the Info Box, and in the Drawing Units box put 200 for your 1/200 scale. This gives you the large master print with panel divisions marks. Click the Edit Layout button, and call this layout 1/200 so you can always refer back to it in the drop down list.

Step #5

Creating the smaller views

Each Paper Space template can hold any number of Paper Space layouts, so when the large master print is done, we need an easy way to get your border and title block from one layout to another. You're going to have one 1/200 layout, and several smaller layouts but I assume you're at least going to want to start each layout with the same title block, then change some small bit of information in each block, (depending on the section you are working with).

Step #6

Saving your work so you can reuse it

Click the red floppy disk icon in the floating toolbar to save this layout as a template. Call it "PS Border" or whatever you want to as long as you remember it.

Step #7

Making a new layout with your previous work

Now click the Add a Paper Space Layout icon, and a window will appear showing you all the predefined templates. Scroll to the bottom, and choose the template you just saved, PS Border.

Step #8

Renaming the new layout

Now your screen should look exactly the same as before, so the first thing you want to do to avoid confusion is to rename this new layout. Click the Edit Layout button in the toolbar, and change the name of this layout to "1/30 Num 1" or something similar.

Now you can toggle back and forth between your main 1/200 view, and this smaller one just by clicking the drop down list in the floating Paper Space toolbar.

Step #9

Making the view work

Now just click on the view frame to select it, and several icons in the floating Paper Space toolbar will become available, one of which is the Section Zoom command. Choose this, and drag a selection rectangle around the first panel division box that you made, (the one in the upper-lefthand corner), and the view frame for this layout will zoom into that area of the drawing only, (which is the only section you want to show for this print).

Step #10

Setting the new scale

Click on the Drawing to select the view frame surrounding it, and click the large I icon in the toolbar to bring up the Info Box for that view frame. Click the Specific Scale radio button at the bottom of the info box, and in Drawing Units box put 30 for your 1/30 scale. This gives you the first of your smaller section views printed out at 1/30 scale.

Now you can change the title block of this section drawing however you want

to.

When this print is done, and you're ready to go to the next one, repeat steps 7 - 10, making changes where needed.

Sometimes you may want to combine two panels together, in cases where one panel is almost blank, and only contains a tiny bit of the drawing, or if the panel divisions lay across somewhere you don't want them to. Doing this is just a matter of dragging the Selection Zoom box over 2 boxes instead of one.

When finished, your Paper Space template attached to this drawing will have several different layouts in it, one big one that shows panel divisions at 1/200 scale, and several smaller ones that show individual sections only (each with its own similar border and title block).
