Title block border settings

Click Title Block Border Settings from the Object Info palette of a selected title block border to open the Title Block Border Settings dialog box.

Creating plug-in object styles allows you to create plug-in objects, such as the title block border, with a combination of parameters that are determined by the style or by instance. Style parameters have a fixed value established by the style; instance parameters can be set independently for each instance of the object in the drawing.

The selected object’s settings are grouped into several panes of related parameters, which are listed on the left side of the Title Block Border Settings dialog box. Select each pane and specify the parameters.
