Chris Wailes Posted September 20, 2019 Share Posted September 20, 2019 I apologize if this has been addressed before. However, I cannot for the life of me figure out how to have my title blocks show up as an option when setting up my files. I have tried saving the title block files in the Default Libraries folder/Title Blocks folder and I have also tried putting them in the Object Styles/Title Blocks folder and they just don't show up. I have even tried placing on of the title blocks into one of the supplied Simple Title Blocks file and it doesn't show up either. I literally been having to import and edit the title blocks each time to get mine imported. Can someone please help me and shed some light on what I am doing wrong. Thank you in advance for any help/advice. Quote Link to comment

Also, what are you placing in the files? If you are making TBB styles, you have to place them as style symbols - red symbols and place them in the Object Styles directory. Otherwise, if you are making regular symbols to be used as graphics for the TBBs, you have to make regular symbols and place them in your Defaults/Title Blocks directory. If you still have issues you could send me a test file or a screen recording showing what are your steps. Best Regards, Nikolay Zhelyazkov 2 Quote Link to comment
Chris Wailes Posted September 20, 2019 Author Share Posted September 20, 2019 Ok, I thought I did do a refresh, but will check. I am not sure about the TBB styles, I will have to look up to see if they are indeed that symbol type or even how to specify them as that. When I get home from work this evening I will post the sample file. Quote Link to comment
Pat Stanford Posted September 20, 2019 Share Posted September 20, 2019 I use a Workgroup Folder and Defaults to store title blocks. Workgroup Folder:Libraries:Defaults:Sheet Border - Title Blocks Put a VW file in that location that contains the title block, rest your Resources (Resource Manager, Gear Icon at top, Refresh Libraries) and you should be able to see your SB-TB in the list of selectable styles in the Sheet Border tool and in the OIP with a Sheet Border selected. 1 Quote Link to comment

Hello @Pat Stanford , Sorry, just found that I put at the wrong location. so, it appear now. Thanks 🙂 ------- I am sharing the title block border style in Workgroup Folder. but when using title block border tool, it can't be found in when I tried to find anything in my Workgroup. I checked on my Resource Manager, it's there. So I have to click on "Find in resource manager" at the window of title block window. Edited April 22, 2021 by Yonina problem solve Quote Link to comment
Pat Stanford Posted April 23, 2021 Share Posted April 23, 2021 Are you sure you have the location of your Workgroup folder set properly in Vectorworks Preferences? I seem to remember it picking a different level of the folder hierarchy than I intended when I was first setting up my Workgroup folder. Quote Link to comment
