Creating a New Title Block

[gphillips]

I am trying to create a New Title block that I can use on all my new drawings. I created a title block and saved it. It appeared in the Drawing Resources in the Browser. But when I closed the drawing and opened a new drawing I cannot find the saved title block to insert it. Do I need to create the title block again and save it a different way or how can I insert the title block that I already created.

When you click on 'New' it opens a blank document based on a template. You would need to edit that template with your new title block so it can be available for new drawings in the future.

Copy and paste the title block from the file you saved it in into your
actual template file.

how do you edit the template and add my title block to it.

Another question relating to the title block. trying to add text to the title block. I can add the text, but I don't understand how to add automatic text. Example: Author or date created.

I'm Sorry, I think I figured it out. I didn't know that the button with the X and arrow placed the text in the box below. Is that how to correctly do it.

What I have been able to figure out is: I save the new drawing into the template folder so that I can use it. But couldn't figure out how to switch to the new template. So I renamed my standard template to standard old and the new template to standard. Now when I open a new drawing it brings up the new template. Is that the correct procedure, or is there a correct way to switch to the new template.

Yes that's how you do it.

Check out Sean Dotson's site he has a very good tutorial on title block creation. I didn't use it as it came out after i had lurned how the long and hard way, but have read it over.
