Hello there.
I am setting up drawings and have created the various sheets I will need in 3 Sheet Definition DGNLibs (plan, profile, Cross Section).
It would be neat if, when changing project, I only had to edit the title block once and not in every single sheet.
To avoid copying the entire title block into every sheets as graphics, I have tried in various ways to reference it into the Sheet Definition as well as the Sheet Seed, but it will not show on the drawings when using the Named Boundary method to create Civil drawings.
Am I missing something? Can someone help?
Marianna:
Why not set up your sheets with fields and use properties within the dgnws file to assign differing information on a Workset (project) by Workset basis? Am I misunderstanding your issue?

I can answer for my shop - we may have to update to the new workflow piecemeal. I've seen some of the training on properties and items, and it looks very good, but some aspect of the upgrade may have to be rolled out in stages. There is a lot that can be automated, but there is a lot of setup to get that automation correct, and a lot of education to get everyone in the office into the right workflow. In an ideal world, we just bite the bullet and do everything at once, but I suspect that we are going to have to prioritize what gets accomplished first, and I see automated title blocks getting pushed back a bit while we learn how to design a road.

Mark; that was not my issue this time, but auto-filling the text fields is definitely the next step.
Based upon the solution to your issue, it is indeed the case that I did not quite understand your initial inquiry, Marianne. The solution is a solid one. Thank you for sharing with the forum! Thanks as well, Marc, for this valuable information.
