Project Based Logo

[stevenhcox001]

Hi all,

I am a new use to ACE and I am putting together a title block.  I want to use the same title block for multiple clients.  Is there a way to replace the client logo based on a Project level attribute?

I know I can just do multiple templates but what fun would that be. :).

Thanks, Steven

You do not have to use multiple templates but might need to have a separate title block for each customer.

Assuming you create the titleblock with all the attributes you need you can use Swap/Update block on the titleblock project wide and it will change all the titleblocks to the new titleblock.

I like Bob's answer, because I already do it that way lol. It's probably the easiest workflow for handling title blocks that need to be different per customer.

But that wasn't the FUN way! 😄

You can try XREF. Create different logo files, all named "customerlogo.dwg", and place the correct file in the project folder. Then xref it into your drawing template in the correct location.

Now, you can just copy the correct customerlogo.dwg to the project folder when it needs to be changed.

Thanks @testsubject , @jseefdrumr , & @rhesusminus for the thoughts.

I like the idea of XREF's but I have found when dwg files get sent to others it never seems to get there in tact.

Swap/Update block does make it easy to change the title block.

Thanks for the help,

Steven
