- Start a blank new drawing.
- Draw your drawing border using standard AutoCAD commands and objects.
- Enter ATTDEF at the command prompt to insert attribute definition objects.
Note: When the border drawing is inserted as a block on another drawing, attribute definition objects become attributes.
- Enter the Tag name, for example DESC1, DESC2, SHEET, SHEET_TOTAL.
- Set any other attribute definition properties and values.
- Select OK.
- Specify the insertion point.
- Repeat for each attribute definition for the title block.
- Save the border drawing as a DWG file.
This drawing is inserted as a block on another drawing. It can be also be inserted when creating a drawing template file, DWT. A drawing template file is used to provide consistency in the drawings that you create by providing standard style, settings, layers, and border.
Note: Run Title Block setup with this border drawing file active if using the WD_TB attribute method to link AutoCAD Electrical toolset values to the title block.
