Issue:

When using an existing drawing template, a custom title block in Fusion is correctly positioned in the first sheet. When adding the second and subsequent sheets, the title block is shifted, moved out of its intended position and off the canvas.

Causes:

This behavior can be observed for existing drawing templates containing title blocks imported from DWG files. The position of the title block used to be defined by reference to the bottom-right corner of the sheet. The new definition references the bottom-right corner of the sheet border.

Solution:

Follow the steps below to fix the template:
  1. Enter the template.
  2. Create a second sheet - the title block will be shifted out of the page
  3. Select "OK".
  4. Right-click on the title block within the second sheet.
  5. Select "Edit Title Block".
  6. Select all the elements of the title block within the title block editor.
  7. Use the "Modify" -> "Move" option to move the block to its correct position.
  8. Select "Finish Title Block" to save all the changes.
  9. Remove the first sheet (which is now shifted out in the opposite direction).
  10. Right-click on the thumbnail of the second sheet (which is now fixed).
  11. Rename it from "Sheet 2" to "Sheet 1".
  12. Save the change.
Alternatively, edit the title block in another CAD software and import it back into Fusion (see Inserting Custom Title Blocks).

Note: The pick point of the block (the coordinate system origin) will be placed in the bottom-right corner of the sheet border in Fusion
