Scale a title block?

I was searcing and cant seem to find a way to scale the title block. Is that possible? I would like to make it smaller on the print.

Thank you

Thanks for posting this question. The answer is not currently. The available functionality is just ASME/ISO title blocks, with the ability to fill in the values via double-click and fill in text fields.

You can find out more about the future functionality on our product roadmap blog.

You can also add feature enhancement requests to the Fusion 360 Ideastation which will let the Product Management team know what should be a priority.

I know this particular request is a high priority, but it is also an bigger one. I hope this helps!

Thanks,

It's now 2024 and I can't find a way to scale the entire title block to fit the different sizes of paper...

under the edit title block menu there is no option to scale. the only way i found is to redraw it every time and that is no acceptable... I don't have autocad just fusion 360 and you have no drawing templates close to what i need for fusion 360.

In drafting, the title block NEVER changes size, only the border and its related annotation such as index mapping and center of sheet marks. In the days before CAD, if you stacked up different size pre-printed drafting sheet and aligned the corner the title block was assigned, the title block was the same size on all. To resize the title block defeats the purpose of increasing the sheet size.

so there is no way to take this title block and scale it down to fit the paper >?

You are showing a drawing template with a "Border" Title Block. These are a different animal than standard template with a separate border in one of the corners normally the lower right. An example of such a title block is shown below. Fusion can use a border title block but is a pain to setup because it must be created as the border for each size sheet, which is scaled to fit the sheet width or length. This is of course only true if you title block design fills the complete height or width. The title block border will appear when the sheet size is changed.

I can't print anything bigger than A size. The ANSI title block on an A size sheet is comically large, taking about 25% of the total available area on the sheet. This is a useless waste of space, and I'd like to just shrink the title block to be in proportion to the sheet size. It seems I can't do that. Does that mean I have to create a custom title block from scratch? That's a waste of time. I should be able to resize the title to anything I like. If that breaks the ANSI standard, then Fusion should just make it a new block with all the same content, and at the size I want, and just don't call it ANSI.

I mean, come on - I can change one parameter in my model and it will redraw the entire thing, if necessary. It can't handle a scalable title block on a 2D drawing?

Here is a stupid workaround. use sheet size C and then print on letter. I am not doing blueprints for high-rise buildings, nuclear power plants, F1 Racecars etc... I am just making drawings for some woodworking projects... I don't need my title blocks to all line up when my 1 drawings is stacked up on the workbench. I would still like to resize the title block.. but clearly that is something that you NEVER do.
