Is there an easy way to take a titlebock and increase the size? My current one is 18x24 and I need to increase to 24x36.

Yes    when you setup the planset  use Arch D,  this is 24x36 paper,  then if you pick a border on the same popup windows, you can pick from different title pages.  

After you learn a little more, you will see how to go to the files holding the title blocks and change the ones there or create new ones, add logos and stuff.

 

But pick the ARCH D and for the border pick a page that is 24x36

It is also important to note that when sizing the borders to be used in plansets, they work in ratios.  So if you want to use a different border size, this is important to know.  In my case, I changed the border sizes from using 1/2" margin to a 1/4" margin so I can get more real estate on the sheets for my drawings.  Most plotters these days will handle 1/4" margins with no issues.  To do this, you can't just offset two sides of the border by the 1/4" adjustment (1' in scale drawings).  You have to work off the 24:36 ratio for Arch D drawings, 18:24 ratio for Arch C drawings,etc. and then dimension your border lines according to these ratios and distances.  Also, the borders all start with the top left corner, so if you move the top line and/or the left line, it may be necessary to close the project and reopen it to get the new settings squared away.  However, if you move the right and/or bottom lines, it shouldn't need to do that.

Aundrea, open your current 18x24 border as a drawing(not in a plan set). Use Save, Save As and give it a new name, I put Arch D in mine.

 

Since Arch D is 6" taller and 12" wider, move the top line up 24' and the left side further out 48'. Adjust items in your titleblock to fit accordingly for the new size. This should allow your new border to fit on a 24x36 with the same border as your 18x24.

That's how I do it. I keep a folder in Dropbox with pre-made border sheets in all the sizes I use. Then I just copy/paste the one I need and make a multi-drawing.
