RE:Some questions - requests
Ken,

This relates to Item 4. I do the samething. I have borders A-D. (I can't plot an E)
In my borders I have notes with fields define that point back to the drawing properties.
For example I use the "Part Number" in the file properties as my job number. In the border text it is "|100". You select it from the fields drop down in the edit window. I use several of these fields.

When I start a new job, I go into File-Properties and set these, Then it sets them for all the borders. 

There are other places that this linking ability exist. I wrote a KXL program that I use to generate my BOM. If I have a bar, It ask me to pick the linear dimensions that define the bars overall size and places the proper link (object number) for the dimension text. With this, if I stretch or shortened the model the typed BOM updates to the real length.
