Title Block - HELP!!
delete delete Ok, this is getting too confusing for me at the moment. I created an 8.5 x 11 boarder with a title block.I think it might be easier to create them all in model space and then bring them into paperspace for my drawings.That is how I used to do it, but the company I worked for had them all done!When creating them in model space how do I draw them??Meanng just draw 8.0" x 10.5" so I have a boarder and then add the title block to it?It was so tiny in ms.I am not sure I understand how to scale the border when get it into paperspace.
Please help! Just draw the border at correct size, offset for your paper margins.
Then make a block of it.
Draw the title block also at natural size.
Use ATTDEF for to define attributes with tags like "Drawn_by", "Date" etc.
Make a block of that one too, Insertion Base Pint at the lower right.
Save that drawing and use ADC (Design center) to insert those blocks in other drawings. Or use W for WBLOCK to save the title block (and border) as a plain dwg file and use INSERT + Browse to insert it in other drawings.
Now, in MS you scale the title block "up" when you insert it and then you scale everything "down"when you print or plot.So insert it with ascale factor of 48 for example (see the other thread on scale factors).
In PS you "are on a paper sheet", insert the title block at scale 1. Then set a scale for the viewport(s). Of course you can combine the border an the title block in one block if think that's easier, for example if you use only one paper size. Draw everything full size.You might want to "orient" yourself by drawing a rectangle representing your paper size then placing your titleblock and border within this area.Pay attention to your layers, colors, and text style (font) now while creating these master sheets so you don't have to go back later and futz around with them.I'd also recommend starting in the lower left-hand corner at 0,0 and not out in space somewhere. I don't mean to be a dingy blond from California, but this is all new to me since I haven't done this in 10 years.
I understand bringing in the title sheets from a file as a block into paperspace but I just don't quite understand drawing them in model space because they all seem so small.When you say draw at natural size, does that mean in ms. or ps?
I will need to just try it out. It seems to come back to me as I work on it.
I drew one, like I said in paperspace and tried to thicken the lines and it wouldn't work for the boarder.I will do what you said in the above post.
I am working with my old autocad 14 so I don't have all the modern conveniences of autocad 2009 with the libraries etc. Some tutorials might help, here is the first I found on google:

Then you have some ready made like this:

When you say draw everything full size, do you mean in modelspace?
