Inventor drawing Title block for Add new sheet needs to be different.

[Anonymous]

Hello Folks,

I am looking for some solution for a title Block insertion option for my Added sheets.

Say, I have my Title Block-1 for 1 sheet and then Inventor needs to pick the Title Block-2 for my added sheets while inserting a new sheet to my drawing. I need this since I am planning to have a simplified title block for the added sheets. the first sheet will still have the standard title block.

Condition: I don't want my template to always have 2 sheets, which means I want to have only the first sheet with a standard template, and only when the user clicks to add a sheet to the drawing, then inventor drawing should insert a new sheet with a different title block from the resources. 

Please Let me know if anyone has a solution for this.

Thanks

Hello Justin,

Thank for your reply on my post, I am a looking for some more clarity since I am not an expert in programming, but I like to know more if I can get a macro for the title block insertion to my second sheet. I will also appreciate if you can share me a program that exists.

Regards

Hi.

Why you must use progamming code? Inventor already give you facility for "create sheet format" , save youre sheet format with difference title block, broder setting and etc. Then when user want to use it, just double click at sheet format selection. Dont forgot to save as to template after you create custom sheet format.

Hi,

My question was not concerned with creating a sheet format..I want to know if there is any way I can make inventor to automatically insert Title block-B into the added sheets. I need Title block-A on sheet one always and only when my engineering wanted to add a second sheet in a drawing, it should insert automatically the Title block-B, not Title block -A.

I hope you understood my question.

Thanks for your response.

Hi,

I understood what do you want to easy pick Title Block. First here my explanation about sheet format:

1. If you already have difference Title Block. My Custom Title named "My Title" :

2. Right click to "Create Sheet Format...", example I create sheet format with Default Title block "ISO" :

3. it will save in to Sheet formats folder: example "Default ISO", you can named with Paper size + your Title Block Name for easy identifying, then create another sheet format With difference Title Block (No Need to New Sheet, just delete previous Title block and insert another Title Block).

4. After all sheet Format do you want are set. Save this .idw/dwg to Template with "Save as Template".

5. If any update or new sheet format, you can repeat this step. And override the old Template with save as template again.

Maybe I want to know, how many Title Block do you have?

Do you use different paper sizes?

if this way isn't not enough, let me know so far what do you want.

Thanks

Thank you!, I currently made my template smarter form for my team, so all my various sheet size formats are picked instantly from one template pulldown. So I have only one drawing idw template that has all the different sheet format. Based on your reply, now I have to create a sheet format for the 2nd sheet with the second type title block. then I will have now all size sheet with second title block.

I have just 2 different Title Block. 

I also like to know, how is the insert new sheet on a drawing, how is this detecting which sheet format to insert on the drawing when I right mouse click and say insert a new sheet.

This is my situation. but thanks you for pointing out the sheet format.

Thanks Mahendra

Hi,

After you create sheet format with difference set, you can choose at sheet Formats Folder and Right click "New Sheet".

Now you can focus to choose sheet format, with programming code or keep user to select manually (its no difference for me).

to indicate tittle block which sheet format are selected, you can expand tree in new sheet, it showing Title Block and border set.
