Title Block creation??? Can anyone help?
Title Block creation??? Can anyone help?
(OP)
I am trying to create a brand new title block for all US customary sizes (A,B,C,D & E). I have used the help menu and it says to go to INSERT then LAYOUT then CREATE LAYOUT WIZARD. I went through these steps and I do not want to create a layout, but I do want to create my own Title Block that is specific to our company. Can anyone lead me through this process.
Thanks in advance,

1. Start a new drawing
2. Draw the title block 1:1
3. Insert default text for drawing name, drawn by ...
4. Configure standard formats for text
5. Insert all standard notes (tolerance ...)
6. Assign attributes to the text such as Drawn By, Date,
Drawing Name, etc. For example, call the drawn by text
'DrawnBy'
7. WBLOCK the entities and set the insertion point to 0,0
Then, when you want to make a new drawing, you insert the BLOCK into your drawing at the current drawing scale. If you type DATTE and select the block, you will be prompted for the title block data that you setup with attributes. This beats inserting text and prevents you from exploding the block.
I am sure that there are hundreds of ways to accomplish this, but we have written programs that utilize this format to automate our product design.

Let me know your e-mail address so that I can send you a zipped file with the menu addition & a readme text file.
By the way I agree with TWong in that all your title blocks
should have all the same info. Ours are all the exactly the same, including size.
