Edit attributes in a title block

Learn how to edit attributes in a title block.

Templates

If you plan to reuse title blocks, borders, document settings, or sheet settings across multiple drawings, create a drawing template to save time and apply consistent standards. You can also create placeholder views and placeholder tables that automatically generate drawing views and part lists from the referenced design when you use the template to create a new drawing.

Double-click the title block.

The Properties dialog displays.
Click to select an attribute.

The cursor displays in the text field.
