Title Block Utility

AutoCAD Electrical toolset can link project description lines and some of the drawing properties to attributes on the drawing title block.

The title block utility:

  • Automates project-wide title block updates.
  • Supports multiple title blocks per drawing.
  • Maps AutoCAD Electrical toolset project description lines to specific attributes.
  • Maps AutoCAD Electrical toolset per-drawing values to specific attributes.
  • Maps AutoLISP values, system variables, or environment variables to specific attributes.

AutoCAD Electrical toolset uses two methods to map the AutoCAD Electrical toolset values to attributes on the title block:

  • WD_TB attribute method - mapping information embedded on the title block. This option is self-contained in the drawing and requires no external file. It is limited to the number of characters that can be placed on a single attribute.
  • WDT file method - external attribute mapping file. This option can update the attributes on existing title blocks, even if the title block does not contain the WD_TB attribute.

During a title block update, AutoCAD Electrical toolset follows this sequence to determine which method to use.
