■ Adjacent arrows are blocks at each edge of the tile that point to and identify
the adjacent tile. Each arrow has a property that specifies the adjacent tile
in that direction and displays the name of that tile within the arrow. You
can specify the text that appears within the arrowheads. When you generate
the map book, you can choose a drawing for an adjacent block. That
drawing replaces the original adjacent block defined in the template layout.
■ Title block displays a defined DWG block that can include title information,
such as your company or group name and the name of the map. Many
organizations have standard title blocks to insert in this element. You can
define certain attributes of the title block from within your template. Title
blocks defined in the sample templates include a frame that surrounds the
entire tile. When you generate the map book, you can choose a drawing
for the title block. That drawing replaces the original title block contents
defined in the template layout.
