The VectorWorks Design Series products use the Drawing Border tool that is part of VectorWorks Fundamentals, but with expanded capabilities. Additional default resources and parameters are available only in the Design Series products.

Various types of drawing borders can be created, including ConDoc, GSA, AEC, ASME, and ISO formats and their associated title blocks, revision blocks, tolerance blocks, projection blocks, and issue and revision data.

When creating custom title blocks, special considerations apply for the title block to associate with the Issue Manager. See Adding a Drawing Border
