In this blog article, we are going to take a look at how we set up and update the title block information within existing electrical projects using AutoCAD Electrical.
Firstly, if you already have a company template setup within AutoCAD Vanilla with an attributed title block. This template can be used to integrate the title block setup process from AutoCAD Electrical.
The title block setup procedure begins via the Project Tab > Title Block Setup.
The following title block setup methods are available within AutoCAD Electrical in the sequence order highlighted below which AutoCAD Electrical will apply when running the title block update command:
The attributes within the title block need to be mapped to either project values (Project Descriptions) or drawing values (Drawing Properties) as shown in the example below:
The attributes can be mapped to the values via ‘Pick’ or from the drop-down menu option. Once all the attributes have been mapped, the title block setup process has been completed.
In order to update the title block with the latest project and drawing values. The following procedure must be carried out:
The values can be updated within the active drawing, specific drawings, project sub-folders or across the complete project.
If you would like further information on the benefits of using AutoCAD Electrical for your electrical design, feel free to contact us at Symetri to arrange a consultation with one of our electrical specialists.
We offer scheduled AutoCAD Electrical essentials training, as well as bespoke training tailored to your requirements to help you work smarter for a better future.
Efficiency, accuracy, and innovation are crucial for staying competitive in the industrial landscape of today. Manufacturing and engineering companies face increasing challenges in managing product development, ensuring design accuracy, and optimising workflows. That’s where Computer-Aided Design (CAD) and Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) come into play.
Implementing a Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) system can be transformative for any manufacturing or engineering organization, but success doesn’t happen by chance. It takes careful planning, collaboration, and the right tools. In this article, we’ll walk you through what PLM implementation involves, why it’s critical to your organization, the benefits it delivers, and the best practices to follow. We’ll also touch on common challenges to avoid, expected timelines, and how Sovelia Core can support your implementation journey.
Manufacturing companies today need robust systems to manage their operations and product development efficiently. Two of the most important systems in this regard are Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) and Product Lifecycle Management (PLM). While they serve different purposes, both play a crucial role in streamlining business processes, improving collaboration, and enhancing overall productivity.
