I'm using Wildfire 5 and it is driving me batsh*t f***ing
crazy. How the hell do you easily make a title box? All
the drawing tools are goddamn cumbersome and irritating
to use. I have no templates available. I can't find any
on the bloody internet. I can't even insert a stupid
picture instead, all I get is the filename sitting there
in the middle of my drawing. I even made the picture a
pdf and inserted that but now its on top of all my
drawings and I can't move it to the back!

Why the hell is Pro Engineer so dicky and hard to use
while other CAD software is simple and straightforward.

Please help me. Have a laugh at my expense while you're
at it.
 
You need to use the formats. Open the correct size format for what you want and save it with a different name. You can then go into this format and insert or draw your title block with draft entities. You then need to insert tables into the blank boxes of your title block to fill in when you create your new drawings. If you have a 2d cad software like autocad, you can make the title block there and insert it into your format (that is the easiest way that I have found).
 
Use Tables. No need to manually draw all the lines.
 
I drew our formats about 15 years ago in AutoMAD and imported DXF files then added tables for the parameters. Only time I update them is when the company name or logo change. About 5 times so far.
