Customizing Sheet Formats
Customizing Sheet Formats
(OP)
I have finally customized a Solidworks sheet format for my company requirements. (Our previous standard was generated in Autocad) This new sheet format was edited from a B sized sheet. How can I save the title block (as customized) for A, C, D & E sized sheets without starting each one from scratch?
Thanks,
Dennis

I've also saved the complete titleblock and border to a .dwg file. However when I import it or even look at it in Autocad, the fonts are not retained.
I think I must be missing something very basic.
Thanks,

Treat the title block just like any sketch. Make a master copy where the lines are dimensioned w.r.t whichever corner the block is "anchored" (lower right corner in our case). Ordinate dimensions work well for this. This way, the constraints and dimensions will take the entire block along when you move just the corner point. You will still need to drag-and-drop the text, though. Afterward, you can delete the dimensions in your new copy, or place the dimensins on an invisible layer.
