Our professor provided us with 3 dwg files that we are supposed to use for our title blocks on all construction document sheets. One is the title block file, one is a file with preloaded client info text and the other is preloaded with project info text. This includes dates(drawing, revisions, etc.), page numbers, sheet names, etc.

He explained how it's easier to xref all of these files into the paper space of our working files, but I don't understand how this is easier when every page has different information on it - in the very least a different page number and sheet/drawing name.

Does this method sound familiar to anyone and how do you make this process efficient?

Is this a matter of creating a unique file for each page of our set of plans? This seems much more confusing that just inputting the text manually on each drawing.

Please share any information that makes this process easier.

For your sheet numbering and such you can use a block with editable attributes.  Most time you will want revision dates separate for each sheet because you may not reissue every drawing with every revision.  With the client and project info you will want to xref, but i would combine the client and project info into one drawing first to minimize the number of xrefs.

Thanks for the tips! The editable blocks seem to work for now!
