Custom Title Block and old drawings

[danS8JRH]

I used the Title Block Editor to create a new title block to fit our requirements. How do I bring this into new and existing drawings? I must be missing something. It only shows as an option in the drawing I created the Title Block in. I can't seem to select it in new drawings, copy it, or import in any way.

Hi Dan,

Currently, you can't bring a new Fusion-created title block into an existing drawing.  The recommended workflow for getting it into new drawings would be to either create the title block in a new Drawing Template (.f2t) file, which you can do from the File menu in Fusion, or if you have created the new title block in a drawing, use Save As and choose the template file format.  Then, when creating new drawings, select that template instead of the default "From scratch" option.

Unfortunately, that won't help for existing drawings, but in the meantime, I have forwarded this request to the team and you are welcome to post to this to the IdeaStation.

Thanks
Chris

In the existing drawing create a new sheet by right clicking one of the existing sheets at the bottom of the screen.

Then from the dialog select your new template like this.

Then in your existing drawing change the title block to the one you imported.

This procedure will work for updating a title block if you make changes at a later date. If you import a template with a title block with the same name as one in your drawing the import overwrites the existing one.

If you created the title block in a drawing rather than a template you need to use New Drawing Template from the file menu.  Then from the dialog Where it asks for a Template select Browse and search for your drawing and click OK, this will import your title block from the drawing. Now just save and follow the procedure above.

Edit. Note when you import the drawing into the new template all sheets in the drawing will create a sheet in the template. You might want to delete any you don't want from the list of sheets at the bottom of the screen.

Edit 2. I missed @cmiller66's method using Save As to create a template from an existing drawing, that seems the quickest way to make your template. It also creates multiple sheets in the template if you have multiple sheets in the drawing.

This is the way!

Sorry for the silly answer, but this is the easiest solution I have found. I tried different suggestions and ideas that I found on this same "forum", but this is by far the easiest one. T

Thanks for sharing with us.
