The remaining AutoCAD Fields that need to be defined are “Scale”, “Drawn By”, “Designed By”, and “Check By”.  Now, these attributes don’t necessarily need to be defined within the sheet-level information on projects where the scale, drafter, designer, and checker remain constant throughout the set.  However, you may need to have sheet-level information such as a work order # that is different at points in the set or maybe there is a different drafter or designer, too.  When this is the case, it is necessary to create Fields under the …

Lesson 2 is essentially two lessons tied into one-creating a title block template applying AutoCAD Fields to traditional methods, as well as creating a Sheet Set Template to utilize the Fields in the title block.  Needless to say, be prepared for a long, but extremely useful lesson. There are many tasks that need to be undertaken for all of this to work, but I’ll break it down and work through it in a logical order.
