edit a title block.
00:05
After completing this video, you'll be able to modify a title block and export a pdf
00:12
Infusion 3 60. Let's carry on with our blade guard assembly drawing.
00:16
We're going to navigate back to the first sheet and we want to
00:18
take a look at the title block area in the bottom right.
00:21
The title block area contains information about the person who created the design,
00:27
the document type a part number, drawing number,
00:30
information about revision and so on.
00:33
We can either populate the title block with information or we
00:36
can modify it to create a new version of it.
00:39
In this case I'm going to select it right click and select edit properties.
00:45
When we select edit properties.
00:46
This will make all of the attributes inside of the title block valid.
00:50
For example, if we select D E P T referenced in blue. I can say the department is
00:57
for engineering
00:58
for technical reference, document type, additional titles.
01:02
All of these can be updated.
01:03
We can also double click on information that's automatically created based on your
01:08
autodesk profile or based on the information provided in the design itself.
01:13
For example, we can change the name to just initials. Set this at Mp.
01:19
It is important to note that the title block information is going to
01:22
be based on the standard you chose when you created your drawing first.
01:26
The way that this is displayed with the sme
01:29
standard is slightly different than the ISO standard.
01:32
For example, we can enter approved by
01:36
approved date
01:40
and document status
01:46
drawing number
01:49
information about the revision
01:52
and date of issue.
01:57
All this information is contained inside of the title
01:59
block and will help anybody reading the drawing,
02:02
gather valid information.
02:04
In most cases you want to create your own title
02:06
block either from scratch or by modifying the title block.
02:09
You see here.
02:10
In most cases, title blocks will contain information about the company,
02:13
such as the company logo and generic statements
02:16
about tolerances and units on the design itself.
02:20
Let's go ahead and navigate to the second sheet.
02:22
Select the title block once more right click. And in this case say edit title block.
02:28
When we edit the title block, we have the option to insert a title block from a D XF.
02:32
Start from scratch or start from existing.
02:35
We're going to use the existing original title block and select
02:38
a title block. One is our new name and say okay
02:41
this brings us into edit mode for our title block.
02:44
We can see here that all the text and black are going
02:47
to be our notes and all the text and blue are attributes.
02:50
We can add or remove any attributes or text that we wish.
02:53
We can also manipulate the title block itself.
02:56
For example, under modify we can move rotate copy, trim,
03:00
extend offset or delete If we use trim for example we can get rid
03:05
of certain sections of the title block if we want to remove them altogether.
03:10
Once we're okay we hit enter
03:12
we can also select and delete lines
03:15
and we can select and delete notes and attributes.
03:18
If you want to add your own text and attributes,
03:21
you can do so with the text command or attribute command.
03:24
When we add attributes, some attributes will automatically be populated.
03:28
For example created by the date, the scale,
03:31
the paper size also note that part name and number massive material.
03:36
The custom properties listed under the components can also be brought in
03:40
this information such as material.
03:42
When we close this and we finish,
03:44
the title block can automatically be populated based on
03:48
the material of the design in your drawing.
03:50
Keep in mind however that the material is really a property that you
03:54
should be using for single part drawings when you have an assembly,
03:57
you typically want a different title block for that.
03:60
So as we move over to the third sheet, if we right click and edit the title block,
04:06
we can change the title block to use ice a title block one as a reference.
04:11
If we want to simply replace it with an already created title block we can go
04:15
into our sheet settings and you can see that the title block is listed here.
04:19
We can simply change it to our ice a title block one and you can see
04:23
it automatically changes because all the material for
04:26
the components in this case we're steel.
04:28
Steel is going to be populated here but again
04:30
it's really reserved for a single part type of drawing
04:34
if you want to create your own title blocks from scratch
04:37
and you also want to create your own drawing templates.
04:40
This can be done by going to file
04:43
new drawing template.
04:44
A new drawing template will allow you to create a new template from scratch,
04:48
allow you to modify and manipulate your title blocks as well as place based views.
04:54
We're not going to be going through it in this example,
04:56
but just note it is possible to create your own drawing template
04:59
and you're drawing templates can have your own custom title blocks.
05:03
So let's make sure that everything we've done is saved
05:05
and then we want to export as a pdf.
05:08
We want to navigate to the export options and note that pdf.
05:11
D W G dX F and C SVR option types.
05:15
The C S V option is only for tables.
05:18
The dX F will export the entire thing as a D XF drawing or a D W G.
05:22
But in this case we're looking at pdf.
05:25
The pdf allows us to use all sheets. The current sheet selected sheets or a range
05:31
in this case will select all sheets.
05:33
We can determine whether or not.
05:34
We want to export the line weights and we can open the pdf as always
05:38
there's an information option which gives you
05:40
more information about out putting a pdf.
05:43
You can also click on more information and that will navigate you to the online help
05:48
for this example, let's go ahead and select, Okay.
05:51
We'll need to navigate to a location where we
05:53
want to save our drawing and note that it's automatically
05:56
going to be called Blade Guard assembly drawing whatever
05:59
version you have saved and the file type is pdf
06:02
will select Save and the pdf should open
06:05
once open.
06:06
Note that we have the entire drawing sheet and you can see multiple sheets are here,
06:10
so we can navigate through them just as we would expect
06:13
at this point. Let's go ahead and close the pdf, make sure that everything is saved.
06:17
If any changes have been made and then we can move on.
00:02
edit a title block.
00:05
After completing this video, you'll be able to modify a title block and export a pdf
00:12
Infusion 3 60. Let's carry on with our blade guard assembly drawing.
00:16
We're going to navigate back to the first sheet and we want to
00:18
take a look at the title block area in the bottom right.
00:21
The title block area contains information about the person who created the design,
00:27
the document type a part number, drawing number,
00:30
information about revision and so on.
00:33
We can either populate the title block with information or we
00:36
can modify it to create a new version of it.
00:39
In this case I'm going to select it right click and select edit properties.
00:45
When we select edit properties.
00:46
This will make all of the attributes inside of the title block valid.
00:50
For example, if we select D E P T referenced in blue. I can say the department is
00:57
for engineering
00:58
for technical reference, document type, additional titles.
01:02
All of these can be updated.
01:03
We can also double click on information that's automatically created based on your
01:08

01:13
For example, we can change the name to just initials. Set this at Mp.

01:26
The way that this is displayed with the sme
01:29
standard is slightly different than the ISO standard.
01:32
For example, we can enter approved by
01:36
approved date
01:40
and document status
01:46
drawing number
01:49
information about the revision
01:52
and date of issue.
01:57
All this information is contained inside of the title
01:59
block and will help anybody reading the drawing,
02:02
gather valid information.
02:04
In most cases you want to create your own title
02:06
block either from scratch or by modifying the title block.
02:09
You see here.
02:10
In most cases, title blocks will contain information about the company,
02:13
such as the company logo and generic statements
02:16
about tolerances and units on the design itself.
02:20

02:50
We can add or remove any attributes or text that we wish.
02:53

02:56
For example, under modify we can move rotate copy, trim,
03:00

03:10
Once we're okay we hit enter
03:12
we can also select and delete lines
03:15
and we can select and delete notes and attributes.
03:18
If you want to add your own text and attributes,
03:21
you can do so with the text command or attribute command.
03:24
When we add attributes, some attributes will automatically be populated.
03:28

03:36
The custom properties listed under the components can also be brought in
03:40
this information such as material.
03:42
When we close this and we finish,
03:44
the title block can automatically be populated based on
03:48
the material of the design in your drawing.
03:50
Keep in mind however that the material is really a property that you
03:54
should be using for single part drawings when you have an assembly,
03:57
you typically want a different title block for that.
03:60
So as we move over to the third sheet, if we right click and edit the title block,
04:06
we can change the title block to use ice a title block one as a reference.

04:19
We can simply change it to our ice a title block one and you can see
04:23
it automatically changes because all the material for
04:26
the components in this case we're steel.
04:28
Steel is going to be populated here but again
04:30
it's really reserved for a single part type of drawing
04:34
if you want to create your own title blocks from scratch
04:37
and you also want to create your own drawing templates.
04:40
This can be done by going to file
04:43
new drawing template.
04:44
A new drawing template will allow you to create a new template from scratch,
04:48
allow you to modify and manipulate your title blocks as well as place based views.
04:54
We're not going to be going through it in this example,
04:56
but just note it is possible to create your own drawing template
04:59
and you're drawing templates can have your own custom title blocks.
05:03
So let's make sure that everything we've done is saved
05:05
and then we want to export as a pdf.
05:08
We want to navigate to the export options and note that pdf.
05:11
D W G dX F and C SVR option types.
05:15
The C S V option is only for tables.
05:18
The dX F will export the entire thing as a D XF drawing or a D W G.
05:22
But in this case we're looking at pdf.
05:25
The pdf allows us to use all sheets. The current sheet selected sheets or a range
05:31
in this case will select all sheets.
05:33
We can determine whether or not.
05:34
We want to export the line weights and we can open the pdf as always
05:38
there's an information option which gives you
05:40
more information about out putting a pdf.
05:43
You can also click on more information and that will navigate you to the online help
05:48
for this example, let's go ahead and select, Okay.
05:51
We'll need to navigate to a location where we
05:53
want to save our drawing and note that it's automatically
05:56
going to be called Blade Guard assembly drawing whatever
05:59
version you have saved and the file type is pdf
06:02
will select Save and the pdf should open
06:05
once open.
06:06
Note that we have the entire drawing sheet and you can see multiple sheets are here,
06:10
so we can navigate through them just as we would expect
06:13
at this point. Let's go ahead and close the pdf, make sure that everything is saved.
06:17
If any changes have been made and then we can move on.
