Title Block

This command draws a border and title block for the selected sheet size. At the top of the dialog, choose your horizontal scale and sheet size. The *other* choice at the bottom of each list will allow you to add your own scale or size if yours is not listed. Anything added to these lists will be retained for future use. Next, choose either "landscape" or "portrait" format. A blue rectangle next to this choice shows you the difference. Below this, you can choose what layer to draw the border and title block on. The margins to use are specified next at the bottom of the dialog. On the right hand side of the dialog. you can choose from several title blocks. As you choose each one, a preview will be shown below this list. This routine looks for all drawings named "tblock" in the \SUP directory. If you want to add your own title block, simply create a new drawing (or copy an existing one) in the \SUP directory and give it a name that starts with tblock. Example: tblock22.dwg and tblock-Jones.dwg are both valid names for this routine, but "MyTitleblk.dwg" is not. After you have made all your decisions in the dialog box, press OK. Depending on your current zoom level, your drawing may be zoomed out to allow you to see the entire area that will be covered by the drawing border. At this point, you have the border attached to your cursor and it is waiting for you to pick a point for insertion. As soon as you do this, a secondary dialog will appear for you to fill out the attributes associated with the particular title block you selected.
