Brilliant! Been working with pre-set standards for a long time and have now had to set up my own. Completely forgot some of the basics and this worked a treat.

Brandon, I love your videos. Never think your not helping people because you are! My question and can you help me most of my drawings of house plans are plotted on C, D, and E size paper. What exact should each be so the I can just pull a window plot from bottom right and upper left corner of title block and just print/plot at 1/4” scale

I can’t see my title block while I am inserting in layout what can I do with it?

[hiltonwilliamprinsloo]

Hello
In the command box I select "insert". Then go to browse. In my downloads I select A1 drawing sheet then select "open"
Now when I go to my layout to insert the drawing sheet it is'nt there! I don't know what I am doing wrongly because at page setup manager I have already set the page size to A1 landscape.
The border title block sheet just is'nt there to insert in paper space!
Can you please help me and tell me what am I doing wrong
Regards,
Hilton

If you wanted to scale it down to your layout I would place the bottom left corner in the correct spot like the video. then when you zoom out I assume it's very large? If this is the case, select all of the block and text, then type in scale, then enter, then select the bottom left corner you placed as your base point, then hit enter, then type 'r' and enter for reference, then select that same bottom left corner as first point the the bottom most right corner of the title block as next point.

Hi LeAnn, I'm not sure what you mean by drop it in but they do work in 2013 (I use 2013) the free title blocks are just the .dwg block version of the title block. Like in this example they need to be inserted as a block into a new layout. The layout and your drawing must be setup to match the same units as the block (metric 8.5x11) or you can just insert it into any 8.5x11 layout and scale it down to inches.

When I am inserting my titleblock it is a different size to the paper size. Why is this?

[Nephew of Ida] 2:37 in my AutoCAD 2018 is the frame invisible and there is no insertion cross and no frame to attach.

If it still isn't clear, my full template download titleblocks. com can simply be opened and all the layouts and title blocks are already scaled and inserted.

I have a set of drawings where each sheet is a different CAD file.  If I insert the title block into paper space as a BLOCK there's not a way to centrally edit the block ONCE and have it automatically update all the drawings that it's in.  The block needs to be edited in ALL the DIFFERENT files that it's in.  Wouldn't it be better to insert the title block as an XREF, so you can edit the title block just once and have it automatically update all the files it's referenced to??  Thanks

i made my title block in model space and made it 1/2" inside the edge of the paper. When i put it in paper space I didnt have the little close grip like you did mine was all the way down and to the left. How do I get it to just be in the center of the page and fit my 11x17 plot size?!
