Issues with Importing Title Block

[AIMESUS]

I made a drawing file for a single part with one title block (title block A). I am now trying to put in a differnt title block (title block B) on that same drawing. Title block A has Arial set as the default text style and the template from which I am copying title block B from also has Arial set as the default text style. However when I import title block B into my drawing some of the text changes over to Century Gothic text. I have to import this new title block (B) on to over 100 drawings and would hate to have to change all the text individually over to Arial text style. Any ideas?

You shouldn't have to import it into every one. 

If you made it a title block and save it as a title block then you and c/p from one IDW Title block folder in the browser tree it into the new drawings Title block folder as new.

Or use a template IDW that has it as and place your model views into that.

This is what I was saying ..copy it after you have it all set ... then you can paste it to the same folder

Hi AIMESUS,

It sounds like your title blocks might be using a Text Style named the same thing, but using different fonts. Meaning that in Drawing A you have a Text Style named Default-ANSI which uses Century Gothic, and in Drawing B you have a a Text Style named Default-ANSI which uses Arial. If you rename the Text Style in your new title block, I think that will resolve this issue for you. But of course I'm guessing.

Note too that you can use the Drawing Resource Transfer Wizard to batch swap out titleblocks:

I hope this helps.
