Title Block Utility

AutoCAD Electrical can link project description lines and some of the drawing properties to attributes on the drawing title block. The title block utility:

• Automates project-wide title block updates.
• Supports multiple title blocks per drawing.
• Maps AutoCAD Electrical project description lines to specific attributes.
• Maps AutoCAD Electrical per-drawing values to specific attributes.
• Maps AutoLISP values, system variables, or environment variables to specific attributes.

AutoCAD Electrical uses two methods to map the AutoCAD Electrical values to attributes on the title block:

• WD_TB attribute method - mapping information embedded on the title block. This option is self-contained in the drawing and requires no external file. It is limited to the number of characters that can be placed on a single attribute.
• WDT file method - external attribute mapping file. This option can update the attributes on existing title blocks, even if the title block does not contain the WD_TB attribute.

During a title block update, AutoCAD Electrical follows this sequence to determine which method to use.
