When I start the layoutwizard and proceed to the insert title block the only choice I have is none. I have several title blocks created and cannot remember where to tell Cad to look. I just setup a new PC and installed AutoCad 2011.
View 9 Repliesi have created some dynamic title blocks with text attributes in title column. I have gone back an added some more attributes at a later date and these new ones will not move with my dynamic stretch! I have tried everything, modifying the action, re-doing the action, nothing works!
View 3 Replies View RelatedThe title blocks that we use have prompted entries in them and I would like to find a way using iLogic to copy the entries from one title block to another within the same drawing; i.e.. if the user decides to change from an A2 to A1 drawing.
I already have an iLogic rule which allows the user to change the active border, title block and sheet size based on a form selection but would like it to capture the prompted entries already entered and re-use them after the change.
For some reason PSE9 photomail will stop working at the Stationary and layout wizard screen. This seems to have happen just recenctly after a download of PowerDirector.
View 1 Replies View RelatedWe have a new title block which now contains various fields to automatically populate the drawing number, number of sheets, issue etc. The problem we have is when we go to zoom all or extents on a layout tab it moves the layout to the right each time. If we only have one layout or we use a plain title block i.e. with no fields, the zoom works fine (layout stays put in the center). This is also true if we directly insert a field onto the layout - again no problems.
The cause of the problem only happens when a block containing a field is inserted onto the paper space of a layout and,there are multiple layouts containing blocks with fields.
I'm trying to edit a drawing I completed last month. The only thing I need to amend is in 'Layout 1'.
In this layout, scale and everything else is fine. The problem I have is that I put some text in the bottom left-hand corner (providing details/title/date etc. of the drawing) and now I need to amend that text.)
The text only appears on 'layout 1' - not on 'model' or 'layout 2', so I know it's only on that layout. However, not matter how much I zoom or increase the scale - the text obviously stays the same size.
I know this is a simple thing to change, I just can't for the life of me - remember how to do it.
I have a drawing template that I frequently use and am trying to get the title block appear in every layout. Is this possible? It is only displayed on my first layout.

View 4 Replies View RelatedIf I'm in the layout view, I want to add a Title Border.All of my layout previews are default in Landscape.When I use the Title Border (via the ribbon) and go thru the options, it seems that my only choice is a A4 PORTRAIT border with title block.

I have previously drawn my title block in Model space but i now know the correct way is to draw it in the layout.
Is there anyway of transporting the title block template into the layout and then saving that as a template for my future drawings?
Or do I need to go back to the beginning and draw the title block again from scratch in the layout and then save that drawing as a template for future use?
In the title block of a my layout template I have tables inserted for revisions, drawing type, numbering etc. I have type already inserted in those blocks that I typically click on and then type in what I need it to say. My template works on all my other drawings except a particular one that I am currently working on.
When I click on the type, it automatically increases from 3/16" to 8" and enlarges the box to accommodate the new font size.
I've attached a screen. The top is before I click on the word "type" in the lower right corner and the bottom one is afterward.
I created and saved a title block as a .dwt file, with no problems. When I open my title block, I cannot get a 3D assembly drawing to show as a 3D drawing in the title block on the layout tab. If I transfer the title block to the model space, it rotates to the same usc as the assembly drawing?
View 6 Replies View RelatedMany times when I receive a drawing from an architect, when I go into the layout tab the titleblock info/XREF doesn't line up with the page layout. I would assume it lined up when the architect sent it to me in his software. For years the solution I use is to XREF the architects PDF in the layout and then go to print and change the Print Offset till it looked right in the print preview. Then I would apply it to the layout. I would then take the offsets and apply it to every sheet. This is a very time consuming process and was wondering if there is a better way to make this work and still keep the scales. I was also wondering if there was a way to move and align the layout on the fly in the paperspace.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI wanted to get opinions on the most efficient way of creating & saving title blocks, with regards to using them in future projects.
1. Create a title block in model space then save it as a .dwt file
OR
2. Create a title block in model space then save it as a block
I can't imagine there's a right or wrong way, just wanted get your input. Chances are you all know something I don't.
In a drawing file customer wants to create 2 title block. both the title blocks should be added to the same drawing. At any point of time only one should be visible to the user. Basically users in one country will see first title block and users in another country will see second title block.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI’ve been given a drawing with 3 drawings w/title blocks in Paper Space, REV A, B & C. A is on the left, B is in the middle and C is on the right. It appears somebody has been printing REV B as when I select print it jumps straight to that drawing.
How would I print REV A or C? I can do it now but I have to delete the other 2 drawings so it focuses on the only remaining drawing.
I would like to ask if its possible to extract part of the drawing from modelspace then add title block in lay-out and scale the extracted drawing...how will i do that?

Is it possible to have one drawing template that can be toggle imperial vs metric, and then sheet size selected and then the title block scaled down or up accordingly? (I would assume this could be done using iLogic)
Or is it normal to have different drawing templates for sizes and units?

Im trying to make a small tool that i can share with other users that allows at the click of a button, a form to give options for titles & borders.

You will see from the attached screen snipe what I mean about being forced to insert it at the 0,0, coordinates. I'd like to insert it into clear space then scale it and move it into replace the existing logo.
