How to create a titleblock A and B size for use as a template on layouts. How to use titleblock templates in existing drawings and scale them. Video 1 of 2
Thank you Mr. Singer. You are the first person that I can understand Auto CAD easily from. You voice, timing, and choice of words make you very easy to comprehend. I will be recommending you to everyone I know!
So clean, clear, and simple description... Thank you for this video, it really thought me how to draw a Template, and do my job well. Thank you Mr Tom.
This is exactly what I needed to know. I know the video is old but just in case...a great idea for copying and pasting the block would have been to select the lower left corner of the internal border as copy point instead of the external and inserting it into the layout of the other project by using the direct input 0,0
Hello, Great video. One question. When I copy my titleblock to the new layout, everything is copied except the text. I also attached a logo and the logo is copied too. Can you suggest something about the text?
how to insert 4Mx4M box in A1 size title block . that title block in model not in view port layout .if i reduce scale then box size will reduce also. so my question is that how can i adjust that box in a1title block in model format.. viewport format i cannot use.. please reply ASAP thanks in advance.
Hi Facto Refer to the video from 9:35 on-wards. The title block is copied to the Layout space and adjusted etc. Then delete it from Model space (that was just used to create it). Once back in Layout space, use a new viewport to view your box.
The hidden lines will fit around you title block once you modify your title block under Page Set Up Manager. INSTRUCTIONS **Make sure you have copied you title block into layout area before you begin to do this. Don't worry about where it is placed.*** In the Layout area right click on the Layer 1 tab the select Page Set Up Manager. Under Page Set Up Manager click Modify tab. Then under Page Setup select your printer, paper size, then under Plot Area select Window from the drop down menu What To Plot. A tab will appear to the right that says Window, click it. A cursor will appear you want to select the top left corner and the bottom right corner of you title block. Once you have done that the Page Set window will appear again make sure you have Fit to Paper and Center to Plot checked. Then click Ok then Close.
hopefully you fixed this but if not try opening the layout tab you want to use and create or select your viewport. Once you do select the drawing you want to use and type CHSPACE (meaning change space) and follow the settings. This should bring in model space drawings at the correct scale.
good tutorial! One thing though, you don't have to try and line up the boundaries when copying titleblock at base point, all you have to do is paste at 0,0 and your don.
How do I know if I am working with inches, millimeters or meters? And as for the layout paper size it did not came out as almost the exact size to paste. Thanks in advance
You design in full size units of choice --- Then use the viewport ( scaling) to control the exact scaling of the units to the layout Paper size is also based on the printer you specify in the page setup. so that may have caused the cut off material.
actually i was looking for the finished title block and attributes on the tool bar. . . = wrong search :P i know how to create but dunno where to find the finished one. . . can someone lead me?
nice question btw... im confused... i have to save my ass... i have to send some samples and i don't know how to create or insert template into existing drawing...

wow! so nicely explained! And also, talk about GOOD ENGLISH PRONUNCIATION! amazingly good!
If I use center meter as the unit. Would I still make it 11 by 8.5? or do I have to convert the 11:8.5 inches into center meter?
+GBA Games you have to convert it
Is there anyway to customize the area of the dashed lines. I made a title block but it doesn't fit in the plot area?
The hidden lines will fit around you title block once you modify your title block under Page Set Up Manager. INSTRUCTIONS **Make sure you have copied you title block into layout area before you begin to do this. Don't worry about where it is placed.*** In the Layout area right click on the Layer 1 tab the select Page Set Up Manager. Under Page Set Up Manager click Modify tab.

Finally the info I needed. Thanks!!
When I paste it in the layout it became so small. Please help me how to fix this :(
hopefully you fixed this but if not try opening the layout tab you want to use and create or select your viewport. Once you do select the drawing you want to use and type CHSPACE (meaning change space) and follow the settings. This should bring in model space drawings at the correct scale.
Awesome Thank you this helped big time.
Thanks that's been really helpful to me :)
why if you initially used offset, does the block not fit within the dotted line area?
I can not get over that Americans still use inches. Is there any demand in the US to change to metric?
Thank you so much, u save my ass today since my useless teacher can't teach sht. Gotta figure them out all from the internet.
How to create the same style of layout in portrait format?
Hi Sir, i try to follow your tutorial but during using clipboard "Paste" is not highlighted in the layout,
this tutorial,is it fit for an A3 size paper or A4 size paper?
It's probably fit only for bondpaper size :)
when i right click in the layout it doesnt show that menu, it only shows select base point.
