Page Layouts, 2000i

Page Layouts, 2000i

Page Layouts, 2000i

(OP)
I have multiple plots of the same 22X34 sheet in full size and half size. I have copied one page layout to another page layout, BUT I need the same title block data, (when I copy the page layout, the text on the title blocks are separate.) Can I xref the title block in paperspace from one page layout to the next, or any other ideas?

RE: Page Layouts, 2000i

I am not sure I understand why your title blocks are different in 2 page layouts if one was copied from the other ? From your information I think you need to make your drawing border and title block a .dwt or template file, then use that on each different sized page layout, everything in the title block would always be the same no matter what size you plotted. Or you could create drawing borders in all the sizes you wanted and copy the same title block into each. Save each border as a seperate file and dump each into its respective drawing layout.

I hope this helpful

Regards Adrian

RE: Page Layouts, 2000i

Unfortunately (or fortunately as the case may be), all of the paperspace layouts are independent of one another. If copying all of the title block information to different layouts is not an option, you could always produce your title block in modelspace on a designated special layer, then simply contrain yourself to the limits of the title block in your drawing. It is not the best solution, but it does solve the issue of having more than one title block to maintain in each drawing. Of course this will not work where you have 3D drawings due to the fact the title block will be rotated along with your drawing.
