In these exercises, we will create and retrieve Chapter layouts, copy and paste multi-plot items, explore a couple of new sub-views and save the result for future use.
This exercise will add a title block to a Multi-Plot sheet. We will do this by opening an additional the current Multi-Plot with a commonly used title block screen layout.
1. 
File | Open <RoadEngCivil>\Location\Align Stage 10.dsnx.
2. Select and <delete> the existing title block items so that only the Plan, Profile, scale bar remain.

You will now have a second chapter with the title block we would like to copy.
4. Click and drag from the top right corner to select all the sub-views (rectangles in this case) of the title block as shown in Figure 2 below.
5. Type <Ctrl + C> to copy the selection to the clipboard (or use menu Edit | Copy).
