Placing a single title block border on a layer

The most common usage of a title block border is to insert a single title block border object on a layer, at full sheet size so that when plotted at 100%, the entire drawing area is surrounded by the title block border.

If you need to print a sheet on a printer that cannot print the full sheet on a single piece of paper, see Placing multiple title block borders on a layer.

To place a single title block border on a layer:

1.      Click the tool and mode.

2.      Do one of the following:

●        To insert the title block border object with no rotation using a single click, click Single Point Insertion mode on the Tool bar.

●        To insert the title block border object with a rotation set by the second click, click Standard Insertion mode on the Tool bar.

3.      Do one of the following:

●        To use an existing title block border from the resource libraries, click Title Block Border Style on the Tool bar. From the Resource Selector, double-click a resource to activate it.

●        To create a custom title block border, click Preferences. From the Title Block Border Preferences dialog box, select the style to use and/or set the basic drawing size default properties. For many standard drawing formats these properties are set by style (see Creating plug-in object styles).

4.      Click on the drawing to place the object. If Standard Insertion mode is used, click again to set the rotation.

A title block border object is placed on the drawing.

5.      Click Title block border settings from the Object Info palette to set additional parameters for the selected object.
