Problem

How can I add my own customized title block when Drawing Views are created?

Solution

 In order to add your own Title Block when a the Drawing View is created you will have to add that border to the seed file.  For example open the seed file used to create a Drawing Views, in this case for Architecture which by default is located in the Dataset_US/dgnlib folder.    Once you’ve opened the seed file locate and open the sheet model Arch-Floor Plan [Sheet] (you will see a list of models in this seed file) in here reference your Title Block, Save and close the seed file.

Go to a file where you will like to create a Drawing View make sure that the seed file set is “Plan” then create the drawing view, once the process finish go to the sheet model and open the reference dialog box and in there you will see both title bocks the one that’s used as a default and the one that was added (from the seed file) now you can turn off or detach the default Title Block and select yours so that it will display in the sheet model.
