Titleblock in drawings

[biggi_sonea]

Hi,

I'm currently trying to create a template for drawings. In the titleblock, fusion won't set the font that i set in preferences (which works everywhere else in the drawing). Does that not work?

Also, in the given template, there's title_1, title_2, title_3. But only title_1 ever shows up. What are the other two references and can I use them?

Also, because I am by now severely annoyed: please have some way of constraining or linking or catching corners (better) for drawing a titleblock. Everything looks wonky or jumos to somewhere i don't want to have it, unless i creep into the screen and drag it reeeeeaaally careful. If you remember, you need another textfield, changing it takes way too long.

Thanks,

Biggi

Hi @biggi_sonea 

Sorry to hear that you are having some trouble with our title blocks.

The font in your document settings is for the dimensions and tables on a drawing, not the title block. If edit the title block, you can edit the font for each attribute shown.

Regarding attributes; There are 2 types, a standard attribute (reads info from the model) and a custom attribute, which is effectively placeholder text. Title_1 - reads the title info from the model. Title_2 & Title_3 are placeholders, they are there for you to add additional info.

RE sketching and "wonkyness", this is certainly and are of the product that I'd like to improve, but it's going to take some time, so please bear with us. For now, I'd suggest using "Snap to grid" in the sketch settings, also rectangles are quite helpful too.

I'd love to hear from you directly, and to get your thoughts around this. If you're up for it, here is a link to my calendar, please book a 30-minute session with me, and we can chat on Zoom (Note that times are in 24:00 format so 03:00 is 3am, 15:00 is 3pm). Or if a good old-fashioned email is more your style, feel free to ping me Clint. Brown {a} Autodesk.com

Hi @ClintBrown3D ,

thanks, I thought I missed an option somewhere. And now I double clicked the titleblock, I see that they are placeholders. I thought they were all attributes.

Snap to grid is great in theory, but it doesn't always snap to the same grid part, so one attribute might be half a line higher or sth like that.

I'd love a zoom chat, thanks for suggesting! I'll book a slot on Friday.

Cheers,

Biggi
