identify parts of a title block
00:06
in this video we'll review a title block and will identify parts of a title block.
00:12
Infusion 3 60.
00:13
Let's get started with our 123 block drawing in this case we're on sheet two
00:18
and we're taking a look at the title block in the bottom right corner.
00:22
When you create a new drawing,
00:23
Infusion 3 60 title blocks are automatically generated but they can be changed.
00:28
Title blocks often contain bits and pieces of
00:31
information about the design that's getting manufactured.
00:34
In some cases it might just be a part number, a drawing number or title.
00:39
In other cases it will contain critical information such as tolerances,
00:43
material specifications, weight and so on.
00:46
In this case we have a fairly basic title block and again,
00:50
this is one of the standard title blocks that we see in fusion 360
00:53
title blocks are able to be adjusted and changed fairly
00:57
easily in terms of some of the data they contain.
00:60
We can also make drastic changes to the overall structure of the title block,
01:04
including new bits of information as well as things like icons or company logos
01:09
first,
01:10
let's take a look at just identifying the different areas of the
01:13
title block and we're going to do this by having it selected.
01:15
And then double clicking
01:17
when we double click all the text that's
01:19
displayed in blue are going to be considered.
01:22
Attributes,
01:23
attributes are details that often times will be linked to
01:26
properties associated with the design but can be changed.
01:29
For example, the project says 22 sandbox. That project doesn't mean anything to us.
01:35
This detailed drawing is in our intro to blueprints.
01:38
So I'm going to double click on this and I'm going to change this title to
01:41
intro to blueprints
01:44
if I enter now, I've accepted that attribute
01:47
the title of 123 block is fine represents the part that we're creating a drawing for
01:53
but title two and title three aren't filled in.
01:56
If we don't add any additional information, they will just simply be invisible.
02:00
Once we finish our properties,
02:02
you'll also note that this title block
02:05
doesn't actually have material listed anywhere.
02:08
Almost title blocks,
02:09
especially title blocks for manufacturer will include material specifications.
02:14
If we want to make adjustments to title blocks,
02:17
we can do that by selecting the title block.
02:20
Right clicking and editing the title block.
02:23
So far we've only edited the properties but if we edit
02:26
the title block will need to be creating a new one.
02:29
In this case we'll start from what we have here.
02:32
So I'm going to allow the new name of A and S. I. Title block one and say, okay,
02:37
this is going to bring us into the edit mode of the title
02:39
block and here's where we can see things like approved by an approved date
02:43
and all the different bits of information that automatically get populated.
02:48
If we want to simply add new attributes,
02:50
we can do that by going to our text and attribute section.
02:54
What I want to do is I'm going to select approved and I'm going to copy and paste this.
02:58
We can do this by using control C and control V on your keyboard.
03:03
If you're on a pc we can also use the copy option.
03:06
We can copy that, select a from and a two point and then we can right click and say okay
03:13
we also want to add attributes that can be filled in but
03:16
I'm going to change the title of this from approved to material.
03:22
You want to make sure that these are in all
03:24
caps so make sure that you do have caps lock on
03:28
next.
03:28
I want to right click and accept that we can also hit enter to accept it,
03:33
then we want to add our attribute.
03:35
So in this case we'll say attribute will place it here and instead of drawn by we want
03:40
to go through and see if there are any
03:41
attributes that automatically bring in the information we want.
03:45
In this case you can see that there are title, project,
03:47
name drawing skill and in this case we have to do custom for custom.
03:52
What I'm going to do is type in material.
03:55
I'm gonna hit enter,
03:57
I'm going to finish the title block and now you
03:59
can see that we've got this material section added.
04:02
If I double click, you can see the attribute is here and I can type in aluminum
04:10
Once I'm happy with that I hit enter,
04:12
we'll finish the properties and now material and aluminum 60 61 is included.
04:18
You will notice that with the change in title block.
04:20
Some of the other attributes that were previously filled in have changed
04:24
things like the project has changed the title is still the same.
04:27
But our revision drawing number code, all this information is now gone.
04:31
So it is important that if you are making adjustments to title blocks that you do it
04:36
at the beginning of a project before you've created
04:38
any additional information in the current title block.
04:42
If we go back to the first sheet,
04:43
you can see that there's also a note here included about tolerances.
04:47
This is another common feature that you will find in title blocks.
04:51
Oftentimes there will be a universal tolerance unless otherwise specified.
04:55
So it's always a great idea when you're looking at detailed drawings
04:59
to just check for those bits of information in your title block.
05:02
Before you get started doing any manufacturer
05:05
at this point,
05:06
I'm not going to save this detailed drawing but
05:08
feel free to make any changes that you want.
05:11
As long as you save it as a new file name because
05:13
we are going to come back to it in future videos.
05:17
Once you're done,
05:17
making any adjustments to the title block and you have saved it as a new copy,
05:21
make sure you move on to the next step
