Drawing template

Anonymous — Fri, 14 Jul 2017 05:48:29 GMT

Today I had to make a drawing template to be able to print the title block in Japanese.So first I made the title block using Draft sight ( as I do not have any Autodesk software. Starting position was right bottom. After that insert it in to the Fusion 360 drawing and printed after converting to PDF. Some of the letters and brackets did not appear in the print. Then I noticied that the font type I used in Fusion 360 drawing was not correct. Then changed it to MS referance Sans Serif - everything was perfect. If you have problems like this, try changing the font type.

The only problem I have is, need to input the necessary information in the Draft sight DWG file and then import them.

Hope we have something easy in our Fusion 360.

Hi @Anonymous,

The capability to create custom title block within Fusion Drawings is already is in our Roadmap.

You can keep an eye on when we start work on this feature by checking in on the Drawings Roadmap here: http://mur.al/bW6QNqDW under custom Title Blocks.

Save your title block as a dwg file, and then insert it from here :

@Anonymous I see you've imported your title block OK, are you trying to enter info inFusion? Try using QCad and set block attributes for the fields you want to set in Fusion. Look on the block menu under attributes.

Thanks for the tip and I will try QCAD and test it.

@Anonymous One more thing to note is there is no auto populate with custom titleblocks so you have to fill the information in for all fields. Auto fill is on the roadmap so hopefully we'll see it in Fusion soon.

I have been able to import a custom template but what I'm finding is that my font style is changing. Regardless of what font I have when I create and save the DWG from QCAD, upon import into Fusion it resorts back to something different.

Any ideas?
