Title Blockage

[Talayoe]

Hello All,

I was curious, when creating multi sheet drawings, how can I place different information in the title block on each drawing?

Example, 2 pages, Description on page 1 = PAGE 1 DESC, by default this same description will show up on all subsequent pages. How do I get page 2 description to be different?

Tks!

You could make a title block for page 2 that uses different properties than the title block on page 1.

Either creating custom iProperties for the addtional sheets, or making the Description field a prompted entry instead of an iProperty.

By the way, this sort of complication is one of the arguments I use for not structuring drawings as multiple sheet in the first place.  In my opinion, it's much easier for each seperate drawing to have its own file so you can just use the properties.

Thank you both for the reply. With the iproperties, it would be a bit cumbersome and painful to always edit each sheets title block.

On that thought, how would I create a prompted entry? This entriges me a little...

tks!

Edit your title block definition in your template. Right click on your description property and select edit text. In the edit text dialog, click the drop down arrow for "Type" and select "Prompted Entry". Click "OK" . Save the title block.

Agreed.  I got interrupted in the middle of writing my previous post, and so forgot to mention it, but I was originally going to say that the iProperty method would only really make sense if there was a consistent number of pages (ex. if most of your drawings had 2 sheets).  It would be a real mess if you sometimes have 1, sometimes have 3, and sometimes have 42 sheets.
