AutoCAD Title Block

[Utemad]

Hi all,

I am doing a uni course this semester that requires me to learn a small amount of AutoCAD. Never used it before but dad is going to help out being that he is an engineer.

He has requested though that I try and source a title block so we don't have to make it.
He said it can be layered in the paper space and you make the drawing in the drawing space and you can make it fit the space you want but I guess you would know that so I'll stop rambling.

Anyway if anyone has an A3 title block that looks like the one in the pic below or knows where I can get one then that would be great.

Any other advice would be great too.

Thanks

In THIS (http://www.cadforum.cz/cadforum_en/default.asp) site perhaps you can get some help ;)

The AutoCAD package should have a whole swag of title blocks in it. At the top left hand side of the screen, below the "File" dropdown menu is an icon that looks like a blank sheet of paper, this is the new drawing icon, click on that and a dialogue box should appear. The dialogue box should be titled "Select Template" The "look in:" drop down menu should be on "Template" and there you will find a list of title blocks. Select the one you want.
I hope this helps.

Cheers, Mick.

Thanks Killer. Will check it out when I get home. I wonder why he didn't think of that :D He uses it every day! Maybe I misunderstood him.

Chucaro not too keen to sign up to another forum just for one question. Plus it would probably take me all semester just to figure the new forum out ;)

Justin,
If you still need help with this, drop me a line.
I'm a fulltime CAD draughter specialising in AutoCAD (22yrs experience) and I can knock one up exactly how you would like probably within a few minutes.

Just let me know if you want the same as the picture, or of any modifications/extras you might want (editable blocks, text, logos, etc)

I can then just email it down.
Leave it with you.....no cost obviously.

Never used autocad so I wouldn't have a clue :) - but - Kierens offer is the type of thing that makes this forum so good.

Just had a look through the templates on AutoCAD and none appear to be the same or even close enough to it unfortunately.

Kieren if you have the time to do one of these title blocks up that would be fantastic!
All the assignments need to be in A3 and the title block needs to be the same as in the picture.
When the outlines are done do you just type into the boxes in text fields?

Very new to this.
Going to get a crash course lesson all of next weekend. Wish me luck!

Yeah, no probs, I'll get on to it today for you.
I'll compile and send it down via email with some instructions on what to do with it. I'll base it on the picture above....

What version ACAD you using?

Thanks.

The uni uses 2009 but I think Dad is using 2000.

[AussieAub]

Sorry for the delay mate.
Unfortunately "real work" gets in the way of the fun stuff far too much!! :p
Have just emailed you with some drawings.

All the best......

Utemad,
Why don't you pull your finger out and do the work yourself?

You can be sure that, having seen this thread, you'll never work with me.

Thanks Kieren. Paid work always comes first.
Email received and will be put to use tomorrow.

Love you too :TakeABow:

If you must know, this is a very small portion of one course. I've never touched autocad before and I dare say I'll never touch it again. I'm not studying engineering, architecture, surveying or drafting or any such course. This is just a familiarisation exercise for when I may work with someone who does use autocad or similar and I may need to obtain information from their drawings. Knowing how much work went into making the lines that border the drawing is not going to help me in that case.

I'm a part time external postgrad student who works full time. Sure if I was an internal student I could go to the practicals and get all the help I need but as I live 125kms away from the campus that is never going to happen so I source my help from elsewhere.

If you would like to forward me your name and business details I'll ensure I never engage in business with you that way you never need worry yourself about my shoddy business practices.

[Utemad]

An update for you all. I'm sure you were biting your nails in anticipation :)

I've finally got my mark back. Submitted it 5 weeks ago.

I received 90% for the assignment. Hoping to make that 96% after I talk with the lecturer tomorrow.

Thanks for the help Kieren and others.

I even learned how to do my own title blocks :D

[AussieAub]

Glad I was of some help.....thats more gratitude than I get from my boss for saving his sorry a$$!!

Well done mate.
Best of luck with the remaining 6%...!! ;)

I have Autocad 2000 and also Quick and Easy CAD discs I will Australia Post to anyone who wishes to download them and return them to me.

Quick and Easy is a wonderful system for beginners. Only problem is you virtually have to fathom it out and teach yourself as no books came with it. If I could figure it out, anyone can. My tech./eng. drawing was all by hand and long ago.

Another CAD system is ... The Official Distributor of TurboCAD : TurboCAD 16 Pro Platinum Edition (http://www.turbocad.com.au/Products/ProductInfo.aspx?pid=1750)

I've been using it since 1995 .... Even the entry level is top stuff :)

Simple & cost effective

The results are in:

I got a 6 for this course.
Not bad since I was going to drop it.

Thanks again all.

Yep. I bought it years ago. However, I haven't used it in a long time and probably wont run on Win XP.

Crikey. I just looked at the price of the Platinum Edition!

The upgrades are cheap as chips .... It's only faults is that support is lacking in the explanation department (no workshop seminars) ... but they have recently released Training CD's ... which give you the kick start

They have a version for MAC ... but it is a totally different working environment

Price wise tho ... Try pricing Archicad or AutoCad by Autodesk... :eek:


Oh ... by the way ... congrats on your marks Utemad
