I Copied and Pasted our title block from one file to another to Original Coordinates.
Plotter and layout parameters in plot dialogue box are the same.
How can I set 0,0 in Paper Space so this can be consistent in older drawings?

What is your "Plot area" set to? If it's set to Layout, then it will default to the last successful plot layout regardless of where 0,0 is. I generally recommend either Extents (if you don't have linework/annotation outside the limits of your titleblock) or Window (if you do). Using Window will be relative to the coordinate system, so if the titleblock is always at the same place (recommend 0,0), then the window will be consistent.
Importing a layout with the title block from a template file avoids issues like you're having.
I use macros like:using Lee Mac's Steal From Drawing lisp to bring in both Page Setups for both plotting hardcopy or PDF along with the Layout.Code:(Steal (strcat (vl-filename-directory (getenv "QnewTemplate")) (chr 92) "AutoCAD Template" (chr 92) "Templates.dwt") (list (list "Page Setups" (list "11×17" "11×17 PDF"))(list "Layouts" (list "11×17")))) .regen
Lee explains how to use it in the link but if you need help writing the macro I could help. I load the function in acaddoc.lsp as I use it for many things.
Basically (Steal "filename with path" then (List of (Lists of types of things you want to steal with a (List of their names)))).
