Join Jeff Bartels for an in-depth discussion in this video Creating a layout, part two: inserting a title block, part of AutoCAD 2013 Essential Training: 6 Sharing Drawings with Others.
In the last lesson, we were in the process of creating a formal plot of this drawing.…We started by selecting Layout1 and then we assigned a printer and sheet size.…In this lesson we'll add a title block of this layout.…Let me mention first that your layout environment is just like model space,…so one way to create a layout would be to physically draw it right here on the paper.…I could come up and launch the Rectangle command, and I could create some…geometry, add some text, and produce this title block from scratch.…
Rather than working that hard, I'm going to select this rectangle and I'll delete…it, because I've already created the title block geometry in a separate file.…So, I'm going to move up and click Open, and in the exercise files folder,…within the printingDWGs directory, I'll select this drawing number, 5_titleblock,…and I'll click Open.…I will then select the View tab and then in the User Interface panel, I'll…choose Tile Vertically.…I will then click inside each window and zoom and center the geometry onscreen.…
