Deactivate all title blocks


Recommended Posts

Hi Community,

Is there some shortcut to deactivate all active title blocks in one file without going into Title block manager and select all sheets and then deactivate?

Maybe @Nikolay Zhelyazkov do you have some tip - shortcut to quickly deactivate all presently active title blocks?

Fastest should be through the Title Block Manager. Another way to do this is to create a worksheet report listing all TBBs and their Active parameter and then edit the value in the worksheet. Note, in worksheets you can copy multiple cells and paste them on multiple cells. This means that you can create a column of False values and paste it in the TBB Active parameter column.

Thanks @Nikolay Zhelyazkov for your suggestion to use worksheet. We have tried that, but we found this unreliable as the change from true to false or other way around from within worksheet is not always transferred to actual title block border ... some are some not...

Anyway, it would be really great to have one button to deactivate all currently active title block borders without need to go inside title block manager>Selected Sheets check all > deactivate and back in to activate those for current task.

- One more suggestion - Custom modification menu can give you an editing context (OIP) for all objects based on a criteria, such as all active TBBs.

This one is great. It is definitely quickest way to deactivate all currently active TTB.

Thanks @Nikolay Zhelyazkov for very handy tip!
