_James Posted December 6, 2022 Share Posted December 6, 2022 How come each sheet in the titleblock manager has a little arrow that can expand a list of fields underneath the sheet title? I have never seen anything other than a "1" underneath a sheet, but it can be ticked as well as the sheet itself. For me it just seems to double the amount of clicking required in this window! 1 Quote Link to comment
markdd Posted December 6, 2022 Share Posted December 6, 2022 You can have more than one Title Block Border object on a Sheet Layer. This will let you choose which one you are referring to. 4 Quote Link to comment
_James Posted December 7, 2022 Author Share Posted December 7, 2022 That makes sense, thanks @markdd - is there a way for it to give it a name rather than just "1"? Quote Link to comment
Andy Broomell Posted December 7, 2022 Share Posted December 7, 2022 As someone who only ever has one TBB per sheet, I too have found the layout of that dialog a little perplexing. I wonder if it could be refined so that a sheet only has the flyout triangle IF there's more than one TTB? 4 Quote Link to comment
_James Posted December 8, 2022 Author Share Posted December 8, 2022 That would be a big improvement Quote Link to comment
Andy Broomell Posted December 8, 2022 Share Posted December 8, 2022 This would probably be something @Nikolay Zhelyazkov would be most familiar with. Nikolay, is this something that could be refined in the Title Block Manager, so that sheet layers with only one TBB are displayed as a single line without the flyout? Or is there additional reasoning behind the flyout that we're not aware of? Obviously it should be kept for any sheet layers that have multiple TBB instances. 1 Quote Link to comment

Keep in mind that this selection is temporary and you are basically selecting sheets and have the option to temporary select only some of the TBBs in a sheet. After closing and reopening of a dialog if a sheet had a single TBB selected then all its TBBs will be selected too, since we cannot really save this selection state as TBBs do not have anything unique which to remember as selected. 14 hours ago, Andy Broomell said: This would probably be something @Nikolay Zhelyazkov would be most familiar with.

Only just noticed. Unless I'm imagining it thank you @Nikolay Zhelyazkov! Much easier on the eye/brain. 1 Quote Link to comment
