Oldskool?  Depends on whether you use paper space layouts or not.]]> Thu, 16 Jun 2011 12:49:49 +0000 https://www.cadforum.cz/forum_en/forum_posts.asp?TID=4941&PID=15789&title=template-as-layout#15789 <![CDATA[Template as layout : I may be missing something, but...]]> https://www.cadforum.cz/forum_en/forum_posts.asp?TID=4941&PID=15763&title=template-as-layout#15763 Author: z3dsdead

I may be missing something, but the user appears to be simply having trouble inserting a template titleblock. Is this correct. I can't speak for all the latest buzzers and goodies to ease the use of autocad since I am just re-learning the process on the Acad2005, having not used anything since the year 2004 when I was using version14 as the foundation with Map5 as the interface (if that's correct nomenclature). So my suggestion may be too rudimentary.
 
But it seems to me that simply haveing a title block as it's own dwg file. Inserting it into the one he is working on, X'ploding it, scaling etc. and make it into a block again so it is solid, and the problem solves itself.
 
Or am I describing something too oldschool to waste effort on?
 
 
Just a suggestion from a newbie who knows only oldskool shibt.

I believe the person who started this thread has created his own template.  There is no need to recreate it although he can make it more useful with the use of fields and/or attributes as previously suggested.]]> Thu, 19 May 2011 11:45:35 +0000 https://www.cadforum.cz/forum_en/forum_posts.asp?TID=4941&PID=15397&title=template-as-layout#15397 <![CDATA[Template as layout : I do not use the &#034;From Template&#034;.I...]]> https://www.cadforum.cz/forum_en/forum_posts.asp?TID=4941&PID=15394&title=template-as-layout#15394 Author: jirachai

 I do not use the "From Template".

I will create your own templates.

Excellent post, John!  Star
 
The next step now would be to create a real BLOCK out of the basic layout objects complete with attributes.  That takes this lesson to the next logical level.
 
It takes all of us a while to fully grasp how this works the first time around.

I had to make a few adjustments to your file.  Before you attempt to open it change the file type from DWG to DWT.  In AutoCAD use File > New.

Your title block and border are now where they are supposed to be...in your paper space layout.

Your title block and border belong in your paper space layout NOT in model space.]]> Tue, 17 May 2011 14:11:24 +0000 https://www.cadforum.cz/forum_en/forum_posts.asp?TID=4941&PID=15347&title=template-as-layout#15347
