 Topic: Title Block Placement in Layout
Posted: 11.Sep.2008 at 01:06 |
Okay,
This is how I did this.
*Open a new dwg file
*Create standard layouts(which you regularly use, like A0, A1, B1, A3...)
*Create templates in each layout.
*When done save that drawing as template.
*Go to options and change default template file name for qnew to the template u have just created.
*So whenever you open a new dwg you will have these standard layouts.
*You can delete the ones u don't need.
Hope this helps.
Cheers

It has been almost 12yrs sinceI had to do this and I don't remember how to get our company title block to show up in the layout view for every dwg I create.
I know I need to add it to the standard template, but that is what I don't remember how to do. I read some of the help files in ACADM but I am still not getting the results I want.
Also, when I try to insert an Xref into the layout of our title block which is 12x18 it doesn't fit in the sheet area. |
Did you try right clicking the mouse with the pointer on the paper space tab?
Doing that you can import templates from other drawings.

Hi, Breeze104
since you are using a template, and the program always starts up with a template drawing, you should save your template as a .dwt (in the dwts place), and use a /t between the quotes, with spaces,
Take a loock on my start up string.....
"C:\Program Files\Autodesk Architectural Desktop 3\acad.exe" /t "Tipuana.dwt" /p "C:\Program Files\Autodesk Architectural Desktop 3\adt.arg"
hope i helped

Also, I seein the pic you don't have the "/layout" in the string. Is that how it is supposed to be?

Well I created Layouts in my template file, but when I go to use the icon switch /layout "B-Size.dwg"|"12x17 LS" it tells me "Cannot find the specified drawing file. Please verify that the file exists."
Now what? Where do I need to put the .dwgs that I need to use? |
If this file exist check the below image.
