General Table in Titleblock
General Table in Titleblock
(OP)
I'm struggling to find out if I can use a general table in the sheet format. I can't seem to get this to work. Works great on the sheet, but not the format.
Is it this way on purpose or is there something that I am missing. Any suggestion for a work around?

Matt is absolutely right, it is very easy to automate the standard way of doing the title block properties. And drawing the lines to create the title block is easy if you use dimensions to locate the lines, then hide the dimensions.

My reasoning deals mainly with the fact that I can be OCD with the appearance of the text and position. I would like to control it better and not have the possibility of accidentally moving text and then having to realign it.
OCD? Anal? Yes to all of the above. Maybe they should do a show about it on The Learn Channel. Oh, wait! They already do, it's call Obsessed!(I think)

I recommend setting up the title block like that and if you want pretty images in your Title block that can still be done inside SW without using Table.
