How do i get a .dwg title block into a chief architect layout?  How would i use my existing autocad block in cheif architect drawings?

You can import .dwg into a chief file. For the layout I would import the .dwg into a plan file and then send that plan file to layout. This is not the best way to deal with the title block. If it was me, I would use that plan file info in layout to trace in layout to create the title block cad lines in the layout file.

I would import the dwg into a "CAD Detail Window" so it would be isolated there for editing and then send to layout from there (I do not like to clutter up  my plan view with imports unless I import the AutoCAD layer names so I can lock or turn those on and off at will.
