General Usage Instructions

It is assumed that each drawing sheet in the model space is bound by a title block, and in each title block, there is an attribute as drawing number. Then, the app will do the following:

  • Ask for the title block name and the attribute tag
  • Ask user to select one or many title blocks
  • For each title block:
  • + Create a new layout named after the attribute
  • + Move the title block from model space to the new layout
  • + Set the block's scale to 1
  • + Create a viewport on the title block
  • + Zoom and twist the viewport to the title block's old position in model space
  • + Sort layout tabs by layout name

Tip: At start, copy a title block to an empty space. Then run the 7cad TitleBlock2Layout. Select that empty title block first. Then you got a new layout with that title block. Setup plot windows, scales etc. for the layout to your preferences. Because the app copies the last layout to create the new layout, therefore, rename the layout to "Z". Go back to Model space and run TitleBlock2Layout command again. Now select all titleblocks and enjoy the result.
