In this exercise, we will make the following edits:
- TITLE: Block -A
- DWG. NO.: 5598
- DRAWN NAME: TM
To edit the information in the sheet, follow these steps:
- Right-click anywhere in the drawing sheet. Then, select Edit Sheet Format, as shown in the following screenshot. Make sure that you don't right-click the drawing view:
- Now, the drawing lines surrounding the information block will turn blue, as shown in the following image. This means we can edit the information block. The boxes for TITLE, DWG. NO., and DRAWN NAME already have text boxes. All of them are empty except for DWG. NO., which will take the name of the file by default. However, the empty field already has text boxes that we can fill out. We can see these boxes by clicking the middle of the empty box. The text box for TITLE is highlighted in the following image as well. To edit the TITLE box, we can double-click on it and input the text we want. Edit the text so that it displays the following information:
- TITLE: Block-A
- DWG. NO.: 5598
- DRAWN NAME: TM
The output is shown in the following image:
- Exit the information block's edit mode by clicking on the icon highlighted in the following screenshot. This is located on the top right-hand side of the drawing canvas:
When in the editing mode, we can modify the location of the text box by dragging it.
This concludes how we can edit information in our drawing information block. However, we've only learned how to edit existing information. Next, we will learn how to add new information boxes to the information block.
