Stupid question: Bottom right corner box name?

[Anonymous]

I have completely lost the name of that box. You know in a drawing you have a box in the bottom right corner with things like "Designer, date, name, approved by, etc". What's that box called and how do you change all the parameters in it? If I want to change the date for instance how do I do that?

In Solid Works it was easy. You just right clicked, pressed properties and a whole list of things popped up. 

I hope I explained it well enough.

Thanks!

You kidding us all right 🙂

Have you broken into an engineering office? Do I need to ring the police?

Here goes-

You mean the block that holds the title of the drawing? For now let’s call that the ‘title block’

I’m not sure what we can call the border thing around the sheet, unless we call it a ‘boarder’ around a ‘sheet’

If you click in the drawing Resources folder in the browser (big long strippy thing down the left of the screen) then you should find them. Right hand click in the, ‘well will you look at that’, Border or Title Block and insert what you require. If the Sheet size is incorrect then left hand click on the sheet and ‘edit sheet’. Once you get a lovery mixture of sheet size, boarder and titles block you can save them as a ‘sheet format’.

To change the prompted text information in the 'Title Block' navigate to the Browser and find the 'Title block' folder inside the Sheet that you are on and. expand this, right hand mouse click the Field Text. This should then present you with the 'Edit Property Fields' so that you can edit.

(I’m looking forward to your guys reply’s this one :-))

Regards

Warren.

Yes, I know it's a stupid intern question.

YOU should browse the tutorials, you never know what you might find.

I did try to look it up but I had a brain fart and I couldn't for the life of me remember the name of that box.

Huh? don't you mean the I.C.F. (information containment field)?

And wasn't that border called the "margin definition"?

😄

(just kidding ofc. title block and border, the OP will probably never forget anymore 🙂 )
