NOTE The new title block is added to the Drawing Resources folder in the drawing
browser.
Align Title Blocks
Position a title block in any of the four corners of your drawing sheet. You
can set the default position for title blocks using the Title Block insertion
control in the Drawing tab of the Options dialog box. To access the Options
dialog box, click Tools ➤ Application Options.
Autodesk Inventor uses that point to position the title block in the specified
corner of the sheet.
You can also edit the position of the title block on any drawing sheet in the
Edit Sheet dialog box. In the browser, right-click the sheet you want to modify
and select Edit Sheet.
Edit Title Blocks
You can edit a title block and save the changes in the drawing. All sheets in
the drawing using that title block is updated. When you select a title block
for editing, the Drawing Sketch panel bar is activated, and you can add or
modify geometry and text fields.
The tools for sketching in the drawing environment are the same tools used
for sketching part profiles. Tools to place text fields are unique to the drawing
environment.
Select these tools from the Drawing Sketch panel bar.
Tips for Creating Drawings
■ Use a style library to ensure uniform formatting in drawing documents.
Use either the default style library provided with each drawing standard
or customize as needed. Save needed custom styles in the style library so
that all documents can access them.
■ Purge unused styles from legacy templates to avoid increasing your file
size.
You cannot purge styles that are in use.
