Do you mean the border/title block or the sheet size?

The sheet size has to do with what size paper AutoCAD thinks you want to print onto and can be adjusted in "page setup" under FILE.


To be honest with you I've never had to make a drawing with Autocad, I've only used it as a stepping stone between CAM and solid models (and to communicate with people still using 2D CAD systems). I have no clue how to change the border/drawing template, but if it's anything like solidworks and inventor you can find "Sheet properties" somewhere and adjust the paper size.

OR

You can copy all of the geometry out of the drawing and into a new blank file. You could draw a border / title block quickly enough (if one is neccessary).

I have to use autocad tomarrow, I'll make a mental note to look into this for you.
