Change the title block of several sheets of the sheet set

Hello, dear friends of AutoCAD.
I have a concern.
I constantly work with sheet sets from different offices and title block changes are often frequent. I would like to know if there is a way to be able to change the title block at once for several sheets of a set?

You said several sheets of a set? So do you mean not all the sheets in a set?

Thanks,

Mark

@mgalicki

Clearly and all the leaves that belong to a set.
Change the existing title block to a new one at once

titleblocks cannot be changed out with SSM, but if they are correctly configured ahead of time to your exact specifications, you can change some of the the information in a titleblock.

So which do you want to do exactly? What long process do you use now to accomplish your task?

@pendean

at the moment I change the title block manually. Inserting a new title block as if inserting a new normal block in the layout

This is one of the things JTB Batch Change can do. You might find SSMPropEditor useful too to update Sheet Set properties across many sheets.

What I do is xref my border into the sheet. And I have a block containing the title block information of fields.

Then if the boarder has a change it is changed in all the sheets that xref'd that border. So if you need to use a border that if different for say civil. you can xref the "civil border into the civil sheets.

I'm not sure what your differences in the sheets you need but you could handle it this way.

Hope I helped or gave you ideas to assist you?

Thanks,

Mark
