ParsonTim Posted January 4, 2016 Posted January 4, 2016 How would someone create a title block for a sheet that has text that you fill in when you insert it in rel. 14? Quote
ReMark Posted January 4, 2016 Posted January 4, 2016 Just to verify, we're talking Release 14 not AutoCAD 2014. Yes? Quote
RobDraw Posted January 4, 2016 Posted January 4, 2016 Do you really mean R14 or is it 2014? If you are really using R14, I would recommend that you let it go in lieu of something more up to date. Even the free AutuCAD clones would have more features. have a look at this thread: http://www.cadtutor.net/forum/showthread.php?89640-How-do-I-make-editable-block-attributes-on-Drawing-title-Block Quote
ParsonTim Posted January 4, 2016 Author Posted January 4, 2016 Not me guys. One of my former students with rel 14. I myself am in the process of modernizing. I scoped out the tutorial by the way. That should work. Thanks Rob... Quote
ReMark Posted January 4, 2016 Posted January 4, 2016 For each entry in your title block you would substitute an attribute. All the attributes would be incorporated with your title block. So, for example, let's say you show such information in your title block as Title, Designed By, Drawn By, Checked By, Approved By, any Dates, Job No., Scale, Drawing No., Issue, Sheet No., etc. all of these would be attributes.

ParsonTim Posted January 4, 2016 Author Posted January 4, 2016 So as each section of the title block is created, say: XXXXX = Client Name, you assign the clients name query to that section using the "attrib" command in? Quote
ReMark Posted January 4, 2016 Posted January 4, 2016 "Client Name" will be an attribute. You may elect to assign a default value of "XXXXX" (or anything else) to the attribute when it is defined. Quote
ParsonTim Posted January 4, 2016 Author Posted January 4, 2016 I suggested he upgrade by the way. His response was as follows: I don't think I want to upgrade for now Timothy. I bought this license years ago. It took me years to open the box and I want to get my monies worth. For now, if it ain't broke, I ain't going to fix it. Darn, I just learned how to use it.He originally learned architecture using Draftsight which is very similar to AutoCAD. Quote
RobDraw Posted January 4, 2016 Posted January 4, 2016 People who make that kind of statement about AutoCAD usually end up regretting that choice. R14 doesn't even work well on the newer versions of Windows. Draftsight is free and is a step or four ahead of R14. Quote
