But AutoCAD doesn't support self reference. What you described is actually how MicroStation users put drawing views on a sheet. In AutoCAD, we use layout. So it's not necessary to use self reference. Jalbertol,

Thanks, Alberto Edwin, Good thing you are familiar with Microstation.  I work with CAD but my client works with Microstation and I have been converting files from CAD to DGNs.  Recently, my client asked me if I can set up my DWGs the way they set up their DGNs, apparently on Microstation you can x-ref a file, clip it, use it to draw an elevation from, and then on the same file, xref the elevation on plot area of the file…all on the same screen!  Is there a way to do that in CAD2010?

Many people prefer to use blocks even when they should use XREF. There are some confusion, especially for new users (at least I did). If you are not sure when you should use XREF, and when you should use block, try to read block vs XREF comparison here.
