Then, assuming you want this to show up on every page, you need to click the option for Share Layer Across Pages. You should be able to drag it down near the bottom. You can check it by toggling it on or off. Then, you need to add a layer for Title Block, and put all this geometry on that layer.
You can group it or not – I’d probably group it. First, you’re going to want to select all of this. Now, let’s talk about getting this to show up on all your pages (or at least most of your pages). You can draw lines to separate your various sections, and adjust the way they look using the “Stroke” option in your Shape Style section of your tray. Notice that you can create a border around a text box by selecting “Stroke” in the “Shape Style” section. You can add a page description section, dates, and other information in here as well. In this case, we’re going to use the AutoText for, along with a letter and a pair of numbers. Now, let’s add a logo in the upper right hand corner – just go to “File,” “Insert,” and find your logo image.Īdding Page Numbers, Drawing Your Sections, and Adding Other Information You can adjust the style of your text within the “Text Style Section.” Notice that the text in your actual document changes to match what you’ve entered in your Document Setup. Now, change your address in the AutoText section. To start, add a text box with the value in it to your title bar. For example, let’s add our Address to our title bar. You can see what AutoText information is available by going up to “File,” “Document Setup,” “Auto-Text.” These are the Items that are already in as AutoText, and you can adjust their values within this area.
AutoText is text that Layout will automatically fill in for you based on information that is set in your model – it’s almost like the text version of a component from SketchUp. Let’s start by just drawing a very rough title block – line on the right, box at the lower right hand corner, then we’ll start adding some text.īefore we do that, I need to introduce you to the concept of AutoText. The Layout is fairly simple – you just add your different text boxes, then you draw in dividers between them – the trick is using AutoText and Layers to get your title block to show up on every page.
