Title Block cell question

I have a title block cell that has tags associated with it. I would like to put our north arrow, construction stamp, etc (also cells currently) into the title block cell so I dont have to put them in each individually everytime I set up a drawing. When I insert the new cell which contains all of the above and I go to drop it so I can take the stamps off I dont need, the tags in the title block also drop. Is there a way around this so I can bring everything associated with my title block in at the same time and at the same scale with out losing my tags in the title block? Thank you.

  • Hello CMJ,

    I think the easiest thing for you would be to create a Title block DGN file that would have the Title block place directly in it. Place your tags in that file for your Title block info, you can have your north arrow, notes etc. all in that file as well.  Then reference that file into your Sheet model in all of your other files.  When referencing I would bring your Title block in at 1:1 then scale your design file when referenced to fit your Sheet.  If you want you can always merge your files together to make on file.

    dont do that  scale the sheet up to the world and always ref attach ref files 1:1  world co-incedent ...
    We are survey drafters etc and when we receive files done your way it makes me weep.. cant  align anything cant use cooridinates cant refattach existing cadaster or photography.. people got to stop thinking they are making a cad file for a piece of paper your not! your making models that can and will be shared ..
    I expect this kind of work flow from Autocad users  as thats the way they are trained ... but mstn  users know better...
