Edit Title Block Solidworks Drawing

Title block fields are a compromise when entering data into the table

Do you know, that… ?

You can complete the drawing table in several ways. One method is to create a property template and complete the property sheet on the right. These properties can be generated in the model (for example,. mass or material) or drawing (for example,. drawing number).

Another very not cool method is to leave blank text fields in the table space, so that the supplementary double-click can enter data. Some people have an equally absurd idea and leave such fields to be completed in editing the spreadsheet format – I strongly advise against both solutions!

A compromise is Title block fields available under the right button w Editing sheet format. This is a form of blank note to be completed, but properly prepared.

1. First, we insert annotations without text – so empty, formatted text fields in the appropriate place in the table. After confirmation they will be visible as a rectangle with a cross.

2. Then mark the area, where the notes will appear – it can be the whole title table.

3. Then we indicate the field, we add a label and approve. There can be many of them. We leave the editing of the spreadsheet format.

4. In the drawing, we move the cursor to the table – an orange dashed frame will appear, in which we double click. This frame and the special marking next to the cursor means, that they have been defined Title block fields.

Double click will show the blue text boxes, where we enter the appropriate descriptions as defined in the label. This method is very secure, because no one will delete the text field by mistake. In addition, formatting is already defined and the whole can be saved in the drawing template.
