Adding a Title Block

A title block containing drawing information can be added to the drawing border. Title blocks are saved as symbols with text linked to a record.

A title block can be the only part of the drawing border that displays, by selecting Use As Title Block Only in the drawing border preferences or the Object Info palette.

Additional title block capabilities are described in Creating Drawing Borders.

To add a title block to the drawing border:

1.	Select the drawing border.

2.	In the Object Info palette, click Title Block.

Right-click on the drawing border and select Title Block from the context menu.

The Import Title Block dialog box opens.

 

Parameter	Description
Symbol Folders	Specifies the location of the drawing border symbols
Symbols	Provides a graphical list of available drawing border symbols

3.	Select a title block symbol from the selected symbol folder. The Defaults folder contains the default title block resources; see VectorWorks Fundamentals Default Resources. The title blocks listed under Top Level are title block symbols that exist in the current file.

To remove a title block, select None.

4.	Click OK to add the selected title block symbol to the drawing border. The title block is scaled to match the current layer scale if necessary.

When a drawing border is inserted into a drawing, the Drawing Border Components symbol folder is automatically created and displays in the Resource Browser. Title block symbols added to the drawing border are automatically placed in that folder.
