Adding and editing drawing issues

Issues can be added to a drawing file, and existing issues can be edited, from the Title block border settings: Issue Data pane or from the Issue Data pane of the Title Block Manager. Adding issues from the Title Block Manager dialog box allows you to select which layers the issue applies to, and to add layers located in other files to the issue; this can help to coordinate large projects.

To add or edit an issue:

If the issue applies to only a specific layer, make that the active layer.

Do one of the following:

To add/edit an issue on only a single layer, click on the title block border object, and then click Title Block Border Settings from the Object Info palette to open the Title Block Border Settings dialog box. Select the Issue Data pane from the list on the left.

To add/edit an issue on multiple layers simultaneously, select File > Title Block Manager. Click Select Sheets to Use and select the layers (see Title Block Manager). Click the Issue Data pane from the list on the left.

To add an issue, click Add, or to edit one or more existing issues, select the issues from the list and click Edit.

The Add New Issue or Edit Existing Issue dialog box opens. Enter the parameters.

Alternatively, click a line item, and then click the icon to the right of the column to edit text fields directly in the list browser; the number cannot be edited if Numbering is set to Auto-Increment in the Document Options pane.
