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.
sorry John I disagree... he asked how to make a tagged or attributed title block, others have suggested to use the sheet model thats fine use a sheet model but when you go create sheet model untick the defaulted tick box, this causes when ticked to put the sheet boundary at 0,0.. if you dont do it it still creates the sheet model, you just have to ref attach your your reference 1:1 world coincedent then attach your ref file of your title block or cell scaled up to real world.. let the printer scale the model to paper ...
Now you can get real coordiantes and you can check the sheets all match eachother and ref attach all your sheet model based plans into another model for checking because they are real world size and location .. just like we used to do before we had sheet models...still allows for best of both worlds easy printing and annotation scaling of text etc and real world placement the autocad style working method is inefficient and not usable for every user the ref model realworld works for every possibility...
I think when Bentley developers were creating the make or add sheet model they just assumed having it preticked to create the sheet layout boundary was best way because its just like autocad heck he probably was an acad user... Ive been fighting this place the sheet at 0,0 and move the world object there for 15 years with acad drafters supplying me building layouts ,road works etc and they still doing it !

Todd Moser ... 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.

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.
