michaelk Posted November 8, 2020 Share Posted November 8, 2020 What you have are symbols that make up the title block part of the title block border. And they're on a design layer. You'l l be much happier putting them on sheet layers. Try this: Create a new Sheet Layer. Make it active. In the Dims/Notes toolset select the Title Block Border tool and insert a border in the drawing. Just accept whatever the defaults are; you can change them later once you see what's happening. With the border selected, click on the Title Block Border Settings… in the OIP. In the Settings dialog box click on Title Block on the left side. Then click on Import Title Block Graphics…. Choose the any of the many default title blocks. Now you can enter data in the Project Data and Sheet Data tabs and that will populate the data (depending on which title block you've chosen) in the title block. There are a lot of moving parts :-). Post back if you're still stuck. 1 Quote Link to comment
