hyrumbradshaw Posted January 28, 2010 Posted January 28, 2010 How do I insert a title block into my drawing? Quote
CADMASTER1128 Posted January 28, 2010 Posted January 28, 2010 Are you wanting to do this in Model or Paperspace? Quote
hyrumbradshaw Posted January 28, 2010 Author Posted January 28, 2010 i dont know??? haha I just want to add a title block to my drawing for printing. I am not sure the normal way to do it... Quote
CADMASTER1128 Posted January 28, 2010 Posted January 28, 2010 HAHA, OK next question is what type of drawing is this? Mechanical, Architectural, Civil, etc. Quote
hyrumbradshaw Posted January 28, 2010 Author Posted January 28, 2010 architectural, im hoping there is some basic title block that i can just add and change or add my name etc to it. Quote
hyrumbradshaw Posted January 28, 2010 Author Posted January 28, 2010 oh and maybe a nice little North arrow Quote
CADMASTER1128 Posted January 28, 2010 Posted January 28, 2010 I am attaching a PDF here with Title Block styles and sizes. I normally use form 5 for my Architectural Drawings. Don't draw the title blocks to the size given. What you need to do is draw them to scale. Example: Form 5's length is 4.50''. A normal architectural is at 1/4'' Scale.... so divide .25 by 4.50... (.25/4.50=18) So you will actually draw the 4.50'' line at a length of 18''. Make sense? Your North Arrow can be found in you DC, Design Center. If you are unable to find let me know and I can attach one. Title Block-1[2].pdf Quote
bonehead411 Posted January 28, 2010 Posted January 28, 2010 architectural, im hoping there is some basic title block that i can just add and change or add my name etc to it. There are basic templates provided with AutoCAD. Use the following steps to bring one into your drawing: From the drop down lists at the top: Insert>Layout>Layout from Template - then browse to: C:\Program Files\AutoCAD LT 2005*\UserDataCache\Template *Shows your AutoCAD folder Quote
Tankman Posted January 28, 2010 Posted January 28, 2010 Over the years, I've had different titleblocks. Just for change's sake. I did start with AutoCAD templates, don't know where I got the one I've attached. I print only letter size or *.pdf format (for emailing). Titleblock-Generic.dwg Quote
Tankman Posted January 28, 2010 Posted January 28, 2010 I have also changed North arrow on occasion. I have a number saved for "whenever." North_Sign.dwg NORTH_ARROW.dwg North_Rose.dwg Quote
