cad_cow Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 Howdy, does anyone know of a nice complete set of metric A4-A0 titleblock blocks either for free download or paid download? I have googled everywhere but can't seem to find a complete set..... Appreciate the help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dana W Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 There should be one of each of those in the samples folder in the design center. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dbroada Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 If you start a new drawing there should be a complete range of metric templates which can be used to start your own drawing blank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 (edited) Might I suggest the metric templates over at CAD Everything as posted by forum member NukeCad? Find the zip file here... Link removed due to possible problem. My apologies. Edited July 2, 2013 by ReMark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReMark Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 I think I may have a copy of the file. Post your email address in the following manner and I will send you a copy. Y o u r n a m e h e r e AT g m a i l DOT c o m Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's not there, add it. It's a simple browse and click to add it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is upgrading to 2014 soon, so i suppose i could wait and see..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know what made me think otherwise, maybe beer. The "Generic title blocks" are blocks stored in the various template drawings. You should be able to browse to the template drawings through the design center, or simply open one of them (qnew command or - Open... New... Then select "From Template, then choose one, and do a save as..... another name. Those title blocks are usually drawn to fit either A1 or 24x36 depending on metric or imperial, but they can be scaled to fit smaller page sizes.

ReMark Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 Express Tools is either installed or not installed. It can't be partially installed. You can't PM me because you do not have the required 10 post minimum. Post your email address as I originally specified and I will email you a copy of the zip file. Do it soon. Once you have the file you can come back and delete your email address by editing your post. I promise not to send you any junk email, pester you with questions about AutoCAD, share my favorite recipes with you or try to "Friend" you in any manner.
