    Default Title block and paper in paper space

    Registered forum members do not see this ad.

    Hello,

    I have an old drawing where I am inserting layout from the template. The problem is that the template is off from the white sheet of paper. My templates are .dwt files and usually work fine.
    regards,

    Krystyna

    You might have to adjust the template to fit the paper size you have selected unless you use a different paper size.

    What size paper did you select?

    2 suggestions, move the title block lower left to 0,0 and like Remark check your paper size.

    If its the black you want choose printer set correct paper size window etc and scale then "Apply to layout" then "Cancel" black will remain with no print, you can then got to next layout use "page setup name" "<previous plot>" apply cancel and so on.

    107 GAB_ A0.jpgThank you guys, but it did not solve my problem: I have letter size paper and the title block made for letter size. When I insert the block it comes off.

    Please check the value of INSBASE system variable in the said template.

    Are you going to post a copy of the drawing (title block and border) or not? Help us to help you by doing so if there is still a problem. If you have solved the problem please say so and we'll put this topic to rest. Thank you.

    I already posted a copy of the drawing with the attributes shifted inside the title block. If you do not know the remedy for that problem, I will live with it.
    Thanks for all your help.

    I'll try to be more clear the next time. Attach a copy of the actual DWG file to your next post.

    Did you read posts #6 and #7? Did you check to see if either applied to your problem?
