Custom made title block?

Is there any way to make my own title block in Fusion 360?

How do I do it?

There's a video on the youtube channel that may be of some interest.

I hope that helps.

Thanks,

If you don't have AutoCAD and need a free program I found QCad works as well. Example screen below.

The video provides great information and the title block loads correctly. The only problem I am encountering is that the text I input into the block is not appearing once I export the drawing as a PDF. They also do not print which is a problem.

@Anonymous Is all your text missing or just where you've filled in information in Fusion.

PDFs work fine for me, black text are fields on the title block filled in in Fusion.

@HughesTooling, the only text that is missing is the stuff I input while in Fusion 360 using the dialog box.

Hi, I'm having the same issue. Were you able to find a solution or work around?

A couple of things to check. Which font did you use, is it the same for all the fields, I used Arial and it works fine. What version did you save the block in, I saved as a 2013. Try the attached test title block file.

I was using DIN and nothing was showing up, the attributes or the titles for the attributes. I switched the font of everything to Arial as you suggested and now I can see the titles but still can't see the attributes. I check the colour of the attributes and even changed them from black to grey and still haven't had any success.

Your title block worked perfectly. Would you be able to take a look at the title block I'm having issues with? I've attached it below.

Thanks for your help

Your file looks like it only contains text, the editable attributes need to be block attributes. I can't remember the autocad command but try a search for block attributes.

Looking a bit closer at your file it looks like you have some block definitions without any default text, I seem to remember there being a problem if there's no default. I can't edit the empty blocks in QCad but try a simple file with default text in the block definitions to see if that works.

hmm thats interesting, I tried setting a default text and still had the same issue. I found a weird work around where I made a custom style in autocad and made all the text and attributes this style, as apposed to the standard style.

I managed to get it to work. The biggest problem was your title was on the defpoints layer, changing it to layer 0 fixed it. I set all you default text to Reset.
