DraftSight: Drawing Frames and Title Block Names

By

Visit DraftSight.com to explore DraftSight 2019 and learn how you can experience the freedom to do more with a better 2D drafting and 3D design experience.

As my posts on including text and dimensions emphasized, adding detail to your drafts ensures that your ideal vision will be accurately portrayed to the reader of your work.

That said, I recently watched DraftSight’s YouTube tutorial on how to insert Drawing Frames and Titles Blocks for structure and displaying information. I thought this would be a great blog topic, because it furthers my recurring theme of boosting clarity and readability to your drafts.

More specifically, Drawing Frames act as borders for your designs, and DraftSight offers multiple sizes depending on the Standard you choose. Likewise, the Title Block allows you to display important information, like your firm name, your individual project, your client, and more.

By first locating the Standards… icon in the Manage section of the Toolbox tab in the ribbon, you’ll be able to specify your standard or measurement unit of choice. Keep in mind that if you’re changing your units, you must press Activate before exiting the window in order for the new standard to be applied.

Next, select the Insert… icon in the Frame section of the ribbon. There, you’ll be able to choose your frame size and scale. Then, press OK and an Attribute values of block window will appear, allowing you to identify your drawing number, description, drawn date, and more.

Once you’re satisfied with the information you’ve entered, press OK, and your Frame and Title Block will be visible in your drawing window.

I hope this post encourages you to add Drawing Frames and Title Blocks into your DraftSight creations!
