[@yusaksantoso9545]

that's a great tutorial..
btw, do you know how to set more than 1 view port?
let say I have a very big drawing, so I need to separate it into 3 drawings.. it means in 1 drawing will need 3 viewports.. 1 for the grid line on top side, 1 for the grid line on the left side, the last for the main drawing... and how to align the main drawing with the grid line?
thx..

[@archtc9503]

Awesome!!!

[@digitalskills3274]

Thanks bro

[@edwardmanful1667]

[@godwinasuquo2909]

Thank for the video ......please can you do that of exact fit on paper space -layout tab

[@chrislemoine9495]

Good job thank you. Can you do making a title block

[@chiriboy7967]

Brandon I follow all your steps on how to insert a title block on paper space. What happen when you don't see your title block when you insert it. Question, how can I plot a drawing on a 11 x 17 paper and keep the same size of my drawing when using a view port. Every time I plot my drawing and scale it, the drawing is smaller. Thank you for your help.

[@SchwanaCARDHUT]

Bravo 👏 👏 merci.........

[@eng.abdirahmanmohamednur1807]

thanks you.

[@sevillea1]

Hi brandon. I wonder if u could have shown some videos like importing half of the subdivision parcel of land with roads to the one i have already in my file and how could it be connect to other half with the same scale. Note that the import half parcel of subd drawing has some lines of power, and sewer and telephone line etc and i want that these stuff shall be removed to have the same with my original file which only shown the parcel and the roads..
thank you very much. awesome video and very easy to follow.

[@ramonhilario9232]

[@ppcc70]

Brandon in am having issues with my scale block inserting in the title block and scale the drawing . please help.

[@paulorossi7169]

Hi Great Video. Thank you. Any chance you could show me how to turn an item in a Drawing to a Block. I know how to create a block but not when there are several items in a drawing and I only need one to be a block.

[@alesanvil]

Brandon, I have an issue when moving a title block between drawings using the DesingCentre, everything changes position and scale (the block of the frame, the text, the images of companies' logos) I have no answer on the web, any advice?

[@Nick-ko1tw]

[@vincenttavera]

I have inserted a PDF title blcok. How do I get that to fit the layout? None of your videos look like my AutoCAD btw.

[@ryanhutzel7897]

why was this so easy. my teacher made it so much more complicated

[@dickyboy873]

I'm fairly new to title blocks so forgive me if I seem thick but keep getting lost when scaling the title block. I must be doing something wrong or missing something as after I do scale and pinpoint left bottom corner after typing "R" and stretching across it does not allow me to go back to my actual page corner to make it fit. what am i doing wrong?

[@barronc33]

I just wanted to know how to create the block itself. I've been out of AutoCAD for at least 10 years and I'm starting a fresh, literally. Where I am initializing ALL templates. I just need some help/guidance in doing that.

[@kennethvictoriano8291]

Awesome Brandon! Great Job. My only question is that is it still possible to edit the title block words in the layout?

[@Cadintentions]

Thanks Kenneth!
Yes you can edit title blocks in your layout, they edits will affect all of the layouts in your particular drawing if you are editing text that is part of the Block itself, like headings or say the work Project or Title. If you're editing the various attributes or individual text objects like the specific date, project name, initials etc then they are also editable in the layout but they will be specific to each layout sheet.
Hopefully that helps! But just let me know if had any other questions.
Cheers,
Brandon

[@llibressal]

Help! My plot-to-file (pdf) previews show everything ultra pixelated . Only when I zoom way into my layout can I get a clear unpixelated plot preview. When zoom extents and plot preview everything is pixelated again.
--I've tried different plot styles and all of which have no effect and all layers are default lineweights, (which is .25)
--PDF resolution is normal (600dpi)
