Hi @jinusiret,

It is really simple if you already have a template with top and left working. You just need to copy it to the bottom and right side within you template title block. Most of the title blocks just have standard geometry and text for references and then the spacing is later set in the project properties to match the title block.

When you are done with the template drawing, Save it as a .dwt file and create a drawing in an AutoCAD Electrical project with your template. In the Project Properties > Drawing Format > Format Referencing

You will be able to setup the kind kind of refencing you need. From the screenshot you attached, I think you want the X-Y Grid option.

The JISdemo project that comes with AutoCAD electrical installation is very similar to your screenshot, I have attached the template as well.

I hope this answers your question, let me know if it doesn't and feel free to post any more specific question you might have while following this.

Hi, thanks for the reply, your effort is appreciated....Can i do the mirror
function for this rather than copiying

Hi @jinusiret 

Yes, you can use MIRROR command instead.

Make sure MIRRTEXT system variable is set to 0 before mirroring text so that text direction is retained.
