Title Box With Tags

Hi guys

I have just recently started using Cad at work and would like to create a template that I can use with every drawing that will allow me to put in a block with tags so that I can populate the clients' information and any other info that I need to on the drawing. Can anyone help me to do this?

Do you have already a copy of what you want the title block to look like ? If not there are some "sample" drawings you can use, part of the normal acad install search for them.

Basicly you nake the title details a block with attributes for client, dwg No, sheet No, theres no rules to what it should look like rather convey the information simply. Also put your title block into a layout tab not model space.

Have a look around your office or look at other drawings that have been supplied.

If your dealing with gov't authorities they do have standard title blocks they want you to use but normally they will supply if you ask nicely.

Also look up standard drawings on the net should be able to find lots of title blocks to get an idea from, I am sure people here will give examples also.

Thanks

I will have a go later and get back to you

I will have a look

Hi Steven

Sorry to be a pain but I can only open it as a read only.

What I want to do is to be able to make my own blocks

I remember years ago (using release 14) we made blocks and were able to add in a clients name and other stuff

Just cant remember how it is done

Can you help?

Did you open it directly from the zip file?

If so, extract the file to your hard drive.

The best way to start is to draw your title block to the way you want it.

Then goto >Draw >Block >Define Attributes and go from there.

Thanks I will give it a go

Thanks I got it working

Do you tutor in CAD

we could do a skill swap I am a professional furniture maker with many DIY skills

and I am just along the road from you

Where about's are you from?

I don't tutor in CAD as per say. But I'm sure we could come to some sort of arrangement if you like.

Yes I would like there are certain things I would like to do to give my clients a better presentation but my skill level is not the best

e mail me please
