Nice of you to ask but why not create one of your own? Zpace would be good practice. Or take a look at the templates that come prepackaged with AutoCAD. Maybe you could steal one of the designs, tweak it, then do a "save as". You will find some METRIC templates here that you can try resizing 11x17https://www.cadeverything.com/help/showthread.php?t=4380&highlight=templateI think I also remember sombody posting some inch sized templates in a thread.Try typing TEMPLATE or IMPERIAL into the search on the menubar above and looking through the threads found.

Can someone tell me the most efficient way of inserting a title block (the border around a drawing with text etc) into a layout?

Sometimes when I insert a title block it seems like the title block is too big or too small for the layout, any tips and help would be very welcome. This may seem like a dumb question but, can you tell me the process you use to insert a title block?

(I use Insert->Block->Insert and then attach the dwg) can you tell me are you in paper space when you insert your titleblock in your layout? Get in the habit of using layouts, for title insert it at true size our A1 is 804x567 then plot at 1:1 use mview to create windows at scale of your model. Lots of posts about this under plotting. Like above different sheets different title sizes but always 1:1Ps a A3 is a A1 plotted at 1:2 we do not resize autocad paper space templates 11x17 title sheet Insert the Titleblock in Paperspace.

Autocadd title block should be just a bit smaller than the printable area of tenplates paper. ie if you're printing on 8.5 x 11 paper, a titleblock that measures 8 x 10.25" would be appropriate. Do you mean you want use a titleblock that's designed to fit on a larger paper?

I hope not, because the detail is going to be too small to be usable.You should use or make a titleblock with dimensions that are just a bit smaller than the printable area (the dotted lines in the layout)Open the plot dialog box, select your printer/plotter, pick the paper size, then hover over the autocad paper space templates 11x17 to see the printable area.33591 ok, I am working with a title block that is slightly larger than the layout border, what is the correct method to shrink the block to fit the paper margin in tejplates layout?Open the block with the block editor, and change the dimensions of the Titleblock border(s).

Then save the block with a name that allows you to identify what size paper it's designed for.Alternately, if your titleblock is paaper for a certain size paper, but your printer driver has an undersized printable area, you can just increase the size of the tempaltes area in the plot xpace box Open the block with the block editor, and change the dimensions of the Titleblock border(s). Then save the block with a name that allows 111x17 to identify what size paper it's designed for.Alternately, if your titleblock is designed for a certain size paper, but your printer driver has an undersized printable area, you can just increase the size of the printable area autkcad the plot dialog boxThanks for suggestions, do you know of any other method where I can make the titleblock slightly shrink or "fit to page" within the paper extents?

I have seen someone at my old workplace do it but I cant remember the exact method? Can I ask why you don't just want to make the titleblock the correct size for the paper?I guess if you're bound and determined not to use a titleblock that's the proper size for the paper, you templlates use the SCALE command to make it a little bit smaller, but I wouldn't advise it, especially if the titleblock contains hash marks around the border as their spacing will be wrong. Can I ask why you don't just want to make the autocd the correct size for the paper?I guess if you're bound and determined not to use a titleblock that's the proper size for the paper, you can use the SCALE command to make it a little bit smaller, but I wouldn't advise it, especially if the titleblock contains hash marks around the border as their spacing will be wrong.Just curious about the abilities of autocad.When I saw someone make a titleblock fit they clicked and dragged a box and the title block magically fitted in the layout page extents, but I'm not sure how it was actually done. Perhaps they were using a dynamic titleblock.

(https://youtu.be/TyM3u88KJpI) Either that, or the title block was in first, then they dragged the corner of the viewport to match the titleblock.Actually, I haven't actually inserted a titleblock for years. When I need to add another layout, I either copy one that already exists in the drawing, or I insert the layout from a template drawing.

Inserted/coped layouts already contain the paper/plotter setup, the viewport(s) and the titleblock. watched the vid.a dynamic titleblock would be interesting.but it spwce still vary ever-so-slightly from layout to layout since there are no snap points associated with the dashed printable area line: you could only get so close.[standing on a soapbox, I spade Close is not a standard one should work towards.And since the lower left of printable space is 0,0 why didn't the instructor in the vid make the insertion spwce 0,0, with the dynamic grip on the opposite corner.

It seemed backwards to me. firstly, I agree with others that these should be set so scaling is not needed.If you do want to scale the inaccurate titleblock to be very accurate, then first draw a rectangle the same size as your paper size (ie full bleed pdf sizes for me are .0625 from the named size.

Full bleed 24x36 is an allowable boundary of 23.9375x35.9375.

I belive DraftSight call it Sheet Mode?It is a basic function in AutoCAD, right click on the sheet tab, and hey presto change the sheet size A1 A2 A3 etc etc.The "Sheet Mode" seems to have a default size of some tiny imperial no good for nothing sheet that ;aper can't seem to change.How can I create an A1 sheet (Without having to import an existing 11xx17 template)Cheers,Gaz.

RE: Paper Space or "Sheet Mode"!!! Gaz66 (Industrial) I have now found a free AutoCAD clone which works exactly how it should. All the options I am after are all present and correct.While DraftSight I think has the edge on the UI, that's where it ends.Link:https://nanocad.com/Cheers,Gaz.

RE: Paper Space or "Sheet Mode"!!! MKK1 (Mechanical) 3 Apr 12 10:49 1. Go to desired sheet2. Rightclick on Autcoad. Click on Print Configuratin Manager.4. Select (or create first one) desired print configuration5. Click Activate !!!The page size actually sets up when creating/modifing Print Configuration file.Thats it. Micro Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS) are a departure from Manhattan layouts, this makes modeling them into integrated circuits (ICs) a challenge.

I've been tasked with leveraging AutoCAD MEP to help my company create drawings for some tool-installs for coordination meetings. I've been learning AMEP all day and am starting to bang my head against the wall.I've been following every sort of tutorial I can autoca, but I'm just not getting everything figured out, so any help would be appreciated.First, I've gone ahead and made a *.dwt at 1:1 scale templtes an 11x17 template.

Now, what I want that do it, obviously is to be scaled always to the 11x17 sheet, but then have the blank spot open for scalable drawings of the factory/tools we're working on. I get that this must be done in Paper Space on Sheets and some other sort of stuff I can't get figured out. All the best tutorials I've found are for ACAD 2010, and as AMEP is not quite the same, Temllates getting stuck at everything I attempt. The Viewports menu in AMEP seems completely worthless, or at least I'm not able to utilize it.

Attached is the *.dwt in case that helps. Any help would be immensely appreciated.Second, down at auyocad bottom right of the screen with the MODEL button, there used to be a few other buttons on there, but when I right clicked, I accidentally disabled some, I think. Here's a picture: https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v624/iowaholdem/ amepmodel.png Any idea how I could get those buttons back?Thanks for any help you can provide. Joell, you've taken on quite a bit if you're new to ACAD.

For expediency, I would treat papsr situation as if you had ACAD 2010, so spae can use the tutorials for that. Don't worry about viewports and don't worry about sheets. It looks like the buttons are there so go to the trangle button (paper space), insert or xref your 11x17 template that should be DWG, not DWT. "Cut" a whole in the paper by using the command MVIEW to reveal the model. Adjust spacce window (the rectangular cut in the paper) to your liking.

Double click in and out of the "paper cut" or MVIEW window. Use the scale button and click on the window to adjust scale. You can auticad use page setup and print the 11x17 but be sure to pwper in the paper space window. Hope that helps. Yep it does help. I'd autlcad figured out how to get the Layout paper space to work before you got back to me. Had a few issues after that, but you've got it cleared up for me, thanks.Yeah, it is a bit pqper a task to sace, but I'm glad to be productive, so I'm working hard at it.

I have experience with ACAD papeer the past, but that was 6 years ago with AutoCAD 98 LT, so things have changed!I'm sure I'll be back here looking for more help in the future. Oh, I've got a new question!What's say I'm working in the paper view Layout I've created and I zoom into the MVIEW so much that I the screen boundaries are completely within the viewport while the viewport is active.

If I need to get back to the title block, how would I do that? Zooming tsmplates would just change the scale of the model view, so how would I change the zoom on the sheet as a whole?Thanks. Like aautocad thing with AutoCad there are multiple ways to do one task.If the mviewport is active then your in model space not paper space.you can lock your viewport then zoom would not effect your scale.if paper space is active you can zoom all you want and drawing scale would not be active. i believe one of the options in command line " mvsetup" gives the option to lock veiwport, then you select the port.

otherwise simply select the viewport then find the tempoates viewport option on the properties pallette. switch that to yes and the view port scale will templaates locked and you can zoom and pan until the cows come home without altering the viewport. i may have misunderstood the question. the other way it reads is you want to get back to paperspace after you have zoomed in on a view port then entered model space. the command is command line "ps".

that will put you back into paperspace. "ms" will drop you into model space. How about this question.Is there any way I can add text within a line (as if it were a contour line) automatically and easily? Perhaps at given intervals along the line?Example idea attached.Edited papee joell on Mar 15, 2010 3:48 PM Hi Joell, don't know if you've figured this out yet;You need a custom linetype.

Invoke the linetype manager (type "linetype" at the command prompt, "lt" also works). If you click "load" you have the opportunity to load a linetype from the current linetype autocad paper space templates 11x17 (probably acad.lin) file.You will need to find the lintype file and add your custom linetype to the teemplates, under the user section. (This is templatea outside of the AutoCAD environment, it is an ASCII file you can edit with notepad, MAKE A COPY FIRST)The help file lists how to add the definition, but you will probably add something similar to the following;*TWENTY_FOOT_CONTOUR_LINE_,- 20 - 20 - 20 - 20 - 20 -A.5,.2,["20",STANDARD,S=.1,R=0.0,X=-0.1,Y=.05].2I haven't tried to load this, but it is the hot water linetype example from the help system, I substituted "20" for "HW".

It should work.I�am trying to temlates a title block I made as a template in a paperspace. I made the title block in the model space of a separate drawing. When I insert it into the paperspace of the drawing that I want to use the title block in the templtes of the title block is�smaller�than the white rectangle which represents the paper size of 11" - soace. I can insert viewports and print the drawing fine, but the drawing of my title block being�smaller than the white area of the paperspace bugs me.

How do I make�title block�bigger? I've attached an image of what I'm Talking about. What is the size of the title block? (280mmx410mm will give "plot area" title block for 11x17)What are the settings in the Page Setup Manager?It looks like you inserted the titleblock into modelspace not paperspace. (The highlighted viewport on laper left image gave me that inclination) The size of templstes "white area of the paperspace" is determined by the page size selected in the page setup for the layout tab.

Confirm that this is set to the dimensions you want.If the autocac is "changing size" (coming in at a different size than what you expect) when you insert wpace (check this by measuring its length and width), it may mean that your units are defined differently in the two DWGs.

In the destination DWG, run the�UNITS command and check the units to scale inserted content setting. OP go to paperspace and draw an 11x17 rectangle on the defpoints layer, with the lower left corner at 0,0. Use the page setup manager to create the default output setup. You will have to go into the output properties to use Modify Standard Paper Sizes, during which you'lll set all margins to zero.Now bring in the copy of your titleblock. I assum you have a border drawn at the same ratio of 11 units by 17 units?

You can place its lower left corner dpace 0,0, autocad paper space templates 11x17 then scale by reference to get tempoates to 11x17.If its ratio is not 11x17 you should scale the ppaer side by reference, and then move it by its templatea side to line up midpoint to midpoint with the 11" side on the defpoints rectangle.If all else fails you may have to manually adjust your titleblock.
