Missing Drawing Template when trying to switch them.

[Anonymous]

I have an issue where another collaborator used an outdated drawing template on muliptle drawings. When I go try to switch it with the correct one, it isn't in the menu. Here are two screenshots where the one I need is present and is not. I have spent the better part of the morning banging my head on my keyboard over this. These were taken in the drawing workbench.

Hi @Anonymous 

It looks like that missing title block is not in the drawing, it is either been deleted or was not in the template that was used to create the drawing.

If you have access to AutoCAD/LT there is a workaround that you can use which will let you export the  correct title block out of the drawing in a format that you can re-import into the contractor drawing. I've documented this here: https://clintbrown.co.uk/2021/03/10/quick-tip-creating-reusing-dwg-title-blocks/

If you don't have access to AutoCAD, attach the correct template here, and I'll make you a DWG title block that you can import into the drawings as needed.

Thank You!

Thanks to @g-andresen I learned a nifty workflow last night. You can import a title block from a template, by using the "Add Sheet" option and choosing a template file that contains the title block you wish to add.

Note that you need to right-click on a sheet (do not click +), then choose "Add Sheet"

Browse to your template file, the title blocks from this template are now loaded into your drawing, see the screencast below.

Sorry but I met the same issue like this topic. I cant replace the Template for existed drawing. I followed exactly your guide but when I click "OK", there is no new Sheet appear.

Hi @tien.tnEJZWK 

Sorry to hear that you are having trouble. Can you send me the F2T file that you are trying to insert? I would like to have a look at it.

Please to send it directly to me Clint. Brown {a} Autodesk.com

Hi @ClintBrown3D ,

I just sent to you an email with F2T file. Please check your mailbox. Thank you.

Hi @tien.tnEJZWK 

I have made a video to help with troubleshooting this workflow. In some instances, the title block might not come through, this is generally because the F2T template file contains references, or the sheets have been renamed. The video below will show you how to easily remove the references.

This method is how I fixed your template

*Apologies for the video quality, it was captured on a remote PC at a lower resolution.
