Automatic title block updates?

[deliamicaela]

When I make updates to a referenced title block, I have to refresh each title block by going sheet to sheet, selecting the sheet border, then selecting one of the object info components. Is there anyway to automatically update/refresh all of the title blocks at once within sheet borders without having to go sheet to sheet?

I would like to second this request, it is a huge pain to open each page to refresh the title block on the sheet border.

Anyone have a solution?

Thanks!

Not sure what you mean about a referenced title block. Are you referencing the title block symbol from another document?

But 2 things:

1. If you have the sheet border set to lock to center, then dragging it away and letting it snap back into place is faster than changing a parameter and changing it back.

2. I think that running Utilities > Reset All Plug-ins will do it. In a big drawing it may take a little while, because it resets every door, window, wall, etc.

I sell such a plugin, which also fills in the date and filename for you. see http://www.dworks.be/en/ for DUpdateTitleBlocks.

I'm working on a replacement for it, for which you can then administer all project related data and don't even have to enter your data in the title blocks anymore, as it will all happen automatically.

Hi,

if your title block has been setup correctly the Project information can be updated for all the title blocks with one click of a button.

see attached.

Note that this is an option in the print dialog. I find it best to keep it on.

As for bulk editing, I use a worksheet linked to the record. Copy and paste are great! It can be found here in the shared worksheets. It's been around a while...
