BGD Posted February 10, 2020 Share Posted February 10, 2020 hi, I designed my own title block and have saved it as a plugin resource. This title block was created in Landscape orientation and can be used on landscape drawings. Is it possible to change the orientation of this title block as vertical (portrait) and save as another polug in object that could be used for portrait drawings? Thanks for helping.

Another thing you could do is to simply use Fit To Page or Fit To Printable area Sheet Size for the Title Block Border and it will automatically fit to your page. Let me know if you need any further help. Best Regards, Nikolay Zhelyazkov 1 Quote Link to comment

I'm new to Vectorworks - I've managed to set up a title block at A3 landscape, but when I make a sheet larger at A2 portrait, I'm struggling. I can't seem to edit the orientation as it's locked. I can't remember how I go back to the main settings for it to adjust some of the settings. Thank you Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee Nikolay Zhelyazkov Posted March 7, 2023 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted March 7, 2023 Hello @deadtomorrow, You probably have a style that your TBB uses. In order to edit the style you can select Edit Style in the TBB OIP and make the style changes in the dialog that opens. Fit to Page and Fit To Printable Area are options in the Sheet Size popup. Let me know if you need any further help. Best Regards, Nikolay Zhelyazkov Quote Link to comment
