Hi
I currently have created a title block which is a 8.5"x11" at a scale of 1:1 (see dgn drawing).
I have been trying for awhile now to make this a 11"x17" landscape drawing at a scale of 1:1 using the stretch and scale and various commands to make this work but nothing is working. Can someone help me make this and explain to me how they did this so I can learn.
Any help would be appreciated..

Looking at the design file you supplied and measuring the outer block of the "title block" it has a height of 8.5 feet and a width of 11 feet, true scale. Did you want to rescale this "title block" to have a height of 11 inches and width of 17 inches or would this be in feet? Maybe you could clarify the correct measurements and orientation so a solution could be supplied for your query. Did you also want to rescale the text in this "title block" or maybe alter the size after you have made the changes to the elements?
The following video shows how I would perform this using the Manipulate Fence Contents tool with the Scale option method by 3 Points.

Forgive me Andrew if you covered this in the video but windows said it would take 45 mins to open ... I couldnt wait that long..
This is how I would solve your problem
First off I would not do it with scaling as its disproportionate X & Y so your text will be ruined
Draw a rectangle the size you actually need 11 x 17 with common point Lower Left Corner..
Now you can see how much now need to stretch the original frame in the Y direction so only fence ( clip fence) the top over lap of your original frame then use fence stretch manipulate fence clip data point left top corner of frame and data point top left corner of new 11x17 frame now it is correct in y plane ie vertically..
now decide what needs to be stretched in the x plane and use the same technique only dont fence every thing just where you want the stretch clip to overlay and everything clipped by the fence will stretch in the x direct by two data points on inside the fence the other the new frame .. this is easier if you use a temporary 11 X 17 polygon as you dont need to calculate anything and no rounding off errors
if you made the temporary frame on a unique level you can then delete it easier...
