title blocks

(OP)
How do you set up sheet formats with title blocks. What I want to do is two things. Like starting from scratch except I already have an existing title block I want to use with company name and all that.
1. I need to set up the drawings with title blocks on them, a,b,c, and d size.
2. If needed I want to be able to change sheet sizes and the new sheet size has its own title block. So if I start a b-size drawing and decide half way thru detailing that it would fit better on a c-size I can easily change sizes and title blocks.


Thanks!  

RE: title blocks

We took one of the "Frame & Title Block" CATScripts and revised it to suit, I.E.; our company name, title block fields, removed boarder numbers, etc., then saved as different name.

File - New - Drawiwng (select sheet size)
Edit - Sheet BackGround - Frame & Title Block

This works quite well, as there are several automatic functions built into the script, I.E.; size to sheet, resize to changed sheet, revision blocks, etc.
NOTE: I am not a CATScript (VBasic) expert. I just printed out the CATScript, found the pertinent sections, and revised them.

RE: title blocks

Is this catscript one that you created from scratch or is it contained somewhere inside of catia? If it is inside catia where can I find it?

RE: title blocks

there is one that comes with CATIA out of the box.  It's in the installation folder somewhere (it's here C:\Catia\B18\intel_a\VBScript\FrameTitleBlock for my instl).

There's also one over at http://www.catiav5forum.de/wbb3/wbb/index.php?page=Portal that's more sophisticated.    

RE: title blocks

We used the one(s) that came with CATIA (as catiajim noted).

In an open drawing:
Tools - Macro - Macros
This will show the location of the files and the 3 samples from CATIA. You can also run the edit & save as a new file process.

catiajim:
I couldn't find a specific file for d-load, and I don't have site access anyway. Could the file be placed somewhere we could get to?
