I'm having trouble inserting my title block in a 3D drawing. I'm kind of new to 3D modelling but it's probably a small mistake i'm making.
I started with my view in SE Isometric, drawed something and then I copy/pasted my title block from another drawing, all in modelspace.
My drawing is 3D and my title block is 2D but in the wrong position.
How do you insert title block, so your design is in the middle of block?

View 9 Replies View Relatedstarting a new job at work so setting up the job folder etc. grabbed the title block and the text attribute insert from the library.....
so here is when the issue started.....so title block and text attribute are both saved in model space, both have all the same settings, this also applies to the template we have here all match.
so i xref in my title page at 1:1 which comes in normal, then i insert my attribute block in at 1:1 but it comes in at some super size thing, normal 3.5 text size is now 1000......
have fiddled with everything gone back to the library set etc but got no idea.
the interesting bit is if i open the title block and insert the attribute block in, it comes in perfect......
so in saying that i am assuming it is the work template..... but none of this has changed for over a month and have created drawings since then........maybe a random setting somewhere has changed but again haven't done anything different to normal no new radical changes....
i have attached a copy of the title block and the text attribute.
How can I get the company logo onto my title block. The image I am trying to use is a .tif file. Is this the correct file type? The image is simple and shouln't be very big in size. I've tried using insert command.

Set ObjDocument = ThisDrawing.Application.Documents.Open("D:ACADBlocksGENERAL.dwg")
For Each ObjBlock In ObjDocument.Blocks
If InStr(ObjBlock.Name, "LOGO") <> 0 Then

I would prefer not to open the drawing to access the block, is this possible in VBA.
I want to insert a stored block into a drawing (model space). Below is the code I'm using and I get

COESTD = "C:JimHYDROCAD_DwgsBlocksZ_COE_STDS.dwg"

I'm trying to build a routine for my job to insert a block which consists of 3 single line variable attributes in a specific order. I need to be able to do this on many different drawings, and I would like to share this ability with my coworkers. Using the DesignCenter is not an option. In order to do this, I saved a drawing which consisted of the three attributes in the layout in which I need them to appear, however the order in which it prompts me to enter them is reversed. I already know how to set the order of attributes in an EXISTING block definition using the BATTMAN command, as every time I run the routine again, I'm redefining the block definition.
I'm not sure if it's important to know this, but the routine consists of a button with the following macro:
(command "-insert" "c:/folder/drawing.dwg" (getpoint "
Choose Insertion Point: ") (* (getvar "ltscale") 2) (* (getvar "ltscale") 2) "0");
EDIT: It works perfectly fine on my home computer, though my home computer runs an older version of acad.
I am trying to write a function to insert a block reference of a block definition which is already stored in the same drawing.
All threads are leads me to the way of inserting another drawing to current drawing with use of database.readdwgfile & database.insert.
How to use those methods for a block definition stored in the same drawing.
I have created a dynamic block of our companies Stage section. The block is set up as a rectangular array using XY parameters.
The block itself works fine however I created block attributes in the block dwg to display its measurements using the Distance x and Distance y totals.
When inserting the block into a new drawing I need to explode the block in order for the array to work, however this also means that the text is no longer locked to the block.
I had been trying to insert a title block (block) in to a drawing as part of changing the title block But in some drawings the block gets scaled off. Is there any system variable or any solution to maintain the drawing without getting scaled while inserting block.
I had used -dwg units and this appears to single drawings only. Any other way to do this to all the files in a folder.
Having problems when copy/cut and paste. When pasting or inserting a block into a drawing the subject disappears.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI created a standard title block template drawing for my student classwork exercises, and when I constructed the title block I keyed in real dimensions to ensure the title block would completely print on a piece of 8.5 X 11 paper. Now whenever I attempt to draw a large scale drawing (say a 36" dia circle, it draws the circle well outside my title block. I know why this is happening, I just need some tips about how to allow a title block template to be constructed around my current drawing reguardless of the drawing scale.

IS there a add-in that I type the title and name and its auto fill the title block? Or do I have to create a custom title block so the drawing can understand to only to take the numbers from <part name> and the letters becomes <title>?

View 9 Replies View RelatedWe are going to be making a new title block and I have been looking at ways to get the new title block into the old drawings. It looks like the Inventor Drawing and Resource Wizard is the way to go.
The steps seem pretty straight forward and simple but I am not getting the correct results. For the source drawing I select my new title block and leave the boxes for borders, my new title block name, and sketched symbols checked. I then pick my drawing I want to get the new title block in. On the last step I can select Yes or No and get the same results. When I reopen Inventor and the drawing it still has the old title block in it.
