Creating a Title Block for a Project You can create title blocks that display information specific to the sheet set or the project. When the information changes, it is updated in the title block. A title block is a multi-view block that includes project information from fields and other attributes. A title block would typically appear in a sheet template or a sheet drawing. If it is in a sheet template, you can use it for all sheet drawings based on that template. Process Overview: Creating a Title Block for a Project Creating a project title block consists of these basic steps: Step 1: Open the project drawing in which to add a title block. Typically, this is a plotting sheet. Step 2: Add project attributes to the drawing. Step 3: Create a block from the attributes. Step 4: Create a multi-view block from the block. Step 5: Create a multi-view block tool. Step 6: Insert the multi-view block as a title block in the plotting sheet. Adding Project Attributes Use this procedure to create project attributes for a title block in the drawing. 1 Click Format menu ➤ Blocks ➤ Define Attributes. 2 Enter a name in the Tag field. 3 Under Value, click . 4 In the Field dialog box, select the field you want to appear in the title block. For example, if you want to display the project title, select AEC Project for Field category, and then Project Name for Field Name. 5 Proceed to adding the attribute as described in "Attribute Definition Dialog Box" in the AutoCAD Command Reference. NOTE An attribute can contain only one sheet set field. If you want to create a title block line that reads, for example, View Number - View Title, you must define two separate attributes. 6 Repeat steps 1-5 for each attribute to add to the project title block. 7 Complete the attribute block with lines, borders, and other desired components. The result is a number of attributes and graphic elements in your drawing. Your attribute block might look like this: Creating a Title Block for a Project | 305
