Title Block

    Table of contents
    No headers
    Procedures | References

    The Title Block command provides the means to edit the drawing document properties.

    Some drawing properties are automatically populated in the title block. For example, the Author field is populated with the name of the designer, and the drawing name is automatically added. If you change any of the pre-populated fields, the drawing properties change accordingly. When you add properties to blank fields, the drawing properties update with the added information.

    The Title Block dialog box expands to display additional title blocks. These additional blocks appear in other locations on the drawing sheet.
