Hi, I am in the process of migrating my office from AutoCAD to Revit. Right now I am creating the titleblock, should be exactly the same as the one we use in AutoCAD of course. In our titleblock we have an image file of a screenshot of the project location, usually google maps. We take the screenshot, then save it to an "Images" folder that is located within the project's folder. This process is convenient and also logical, because as we create a new project we just have to replace the location image with the new location image with the same name. That way the new image just reloads in the same place of the old one and does not mess with the previous project. So I am looking into a solution for an also convenient and logical process for the Revit titleblock. The thing is that in the AutoCAD process, a new Titleblock dwg is created for every new project. In Revit logic, the titleblock should be the same file regardless the project. I need a way to change the image per for every project, obviously without having to create a new titleblock every time. Any suggestions?

I am trying to creating a new titleblock family for a client, and am struggling to get the "Project Name" label parameter to wrap the text below when the name exceeds the  width of the label text box. I have googled, ask ChatGPT, and tried everything I can think of to get it to wrap. I have attached screenshots showing the issue. The first screenshot is from inside the titleblock family editor showing that the label extents are correct, and the second screenshot is once I have loaded it into a project and gave it a name longer than the text box to show it not wrapping.

We have this workflow to populate the titleblock with custom iproperties from the model used in the drawing. Sometimes we need an extra drawing with the same model, therefore we have an extra titleblock (FREE_FIELDS) to be able to enter another title & description. The fields are in both cases IOS_TITLE_EN & IOS_DESCRIPTION_EN. We want to copy these 2 values from the titleblock (not the model) to the custom drawing iproperties, wether the standard titleblock - with values from the model, or the free titleblock with typed in values is used. Is that possible? model iproperties prompted entries

Good day everyone, I have attached a title block family which weirdly enough is not giving me the option of filling out the "Purpose of Drawing" Paramater when I'm creating a sheet. Please help. Regards, Takunda.

I'm trying to count some stats in Titleblock families, but if I use EditFamily() then I don't necessarily get the right info (if there's already something with the same name open that's different from what's loaded in the project). Even though the API documentation says "This creates an independent copy of the family for editing." that's not quite what it does. It will just pass you the document pointer of an already-open file, if that file just happens to be named the same thing. It's always independent of the family that's loaded in the project, but it doesn't (always) actually "create" a "copy". **Tried/Potential Solutions - there must be something better!:** I can't temporarily rename the Titleblock family before calling EditFamily() (and then roll it back after), because EditFamily() requires no open transactions. I could rename the family, call EditFamily(), and then rename the Family back, but I'd rather not as that would create transactions/changes on a document where I'm really just reading data (and I don't want to have to ask the user to manually undo the changes). I could run the stat collection as part of a batch process of files in an environment where all other docs are closed (so that I know that I'm getting the right version). This is what I might do eventually anyway, to avoid a delay to user when opening or closing the file. I could count the number of "ScheduleSheetInstance" elements (with IsTitleblockRevisionSchedule = true) and divide that by the number of instances of the titleblock in the project, but **I don't see a way to get the Label count** , and that would only work if there's ONLY one titleblock family that's already "open" (because I could subtract the counts of "ScheduleSheetInstance" elements from any other titleblocks). So basically I'm looking for a way to count the Labels from within the project, or dealing with EditFamily and/or the Undo stack in ways that don't appear possible...

Fusion for Windows 2605.1.52 1) Open drawing template 2) Select Titleblock 3) Right Click "Titleblock" and select "Change Titleblock" 4) Note weirdness in selecting "Rename" or "Delete" buttons. Commands are executed hovering over buttons without selecting button. (view in My Videos)

Hi, I have created a base model for my project which has 2 xrefs linked into the titleblock for manipulating it in one go. Now if I copy paste this base model with its drawing to another folder, the path resets and only works after I go into xref manager and give the path again. I have over 50+ sheets so any solution for this? I have to create several copy of the base model for other variations as well so can't do it manually everytime I copy it.

Can't find this exact issue elsewhere, certain it's something obvious. I've been provided a titleblock by a client to be used on layouts for a project. The values to appear on the titleblock are all configured as shared instance parameters within the titleblock family. The labels are linked to the parameters. I load the titleblock into the project, the options appear in the properties list, but if I enter a value, it doesn't appear on the titleblock. I'm not able to attach files related to this unfortunately.

I work under the MEP field. When I need to set up sheets, generally I go to the BIM project folder and download the architects source file. Then I open it to save out the Titleblock for the project. After saving it to my companies network, I then delete that source file. I would like to load the be able to get that titleblock family without the extra effort. Is this possible? I cannot open the Architects model through BIM, I can only download the sourcefile. Thanks, Matt

We are trying to update our titleblock and have customer name, city, quote, project number. etc in DWGPROPS but there are two items I can't figure out how to include. 1. A Provisional tag-currently a dynamic block with a blank or provisional visibility state but willing to do a checkbox or dropdown in DWGPROPS if possible. 2. Planner Name and PM name-currently a dynamic block with everyone's name as a separate visibility state. Again, would love to have a dropdown in DWGPROPS. There are 2 titleblocks in the drawing and would love to update in just one location and both update automatically. This file will be used internally only so if we need to download something to get this done, it is a possibility.

So, something that always bothered me with Sheets in Revit. Why is it that 'Zoom Fit' only extends to the extent of the Titleblock? We have 'Zoom Sheet Size' but it never seems to zoom to the actual sheet extents, which would be best suited to fit to the Titleblock. I would expect 'Zoom Fit' to include any elements visible in the whole sheet "space". We often end up with strange offsets between clip extents, view titles and the desired visible geometry (whole other problem); this results in the visible geometry be well away from the titleblock. The only way to find out where it is, is to delete the titleblock and then Zoom All.

Good afternoon I'm looking to create a family which will sit in, or as part of, my titleblock.  The family will be a scale bar showing eitehr the current scale of the drawing or a piece of text stating "As Shown" or "Not To Scale". I'm transitioning from AutoCAD, in which this would be a very simple matter of making a block with a visibility state to control which parts of the geometry inside the block I want to see. However, in Revit, using a wholel load of Yes/No parameters seems a bit of a backwards step as a) more than one visibility state can be shown at any one time, and b) there needs to be a lot of duplicate geometry in the family (the scale bar itself for instance). So the question is, is there a better, neater way of doing this? Below is screen shot of the dynamic block in AutoCAD so the duplicate (scale bar) and unique (text) geoemtry can be seen. Many thanks. 🙂

I have added a revision schedule in the 3 types of titleblocks we use in the same project. The revision schedule only updates if there is a revision bubble on the same page as the schedule. How do I make the revision schedule update project wide (i.e. on all titleblocks on all sheets) even if the revision bubble is limited to one drawing?

Olá pessoal, tudo bem? Estou editando um titleblock e gostaria de adicionar uma label que mostre automaticamente a data atual, se atualizando diariamente. O problema é que até agora só consegui inserir a opção que traz **data e hora juntas** (por exemplo: _16/09/2025 11:06:28_). Existe alguma maneira de configurar para que apareça **apenas a data** , sem mostrar a hora? Obrigado desde já pela ajuda!

Hello. I am familiar with the GATTE command. I use it all the time. I do have an issue I would like to pose. I have a drawing with multiple tabs, and each tab has a titleblock in it. Each title block has fields in it. Can I use GATTE to update a field, and have that update all the fields in each tab in each titleblock? The area in Red will be the sheet. 01, 02, 03, etc. It is a field and I have 10 sheets. How can I change the field tp update globally without updating on each tab (titleblock)? Thanks.

Hello, We want to create a titleblock for door og window-drawings, where the titleblock displays the typemark of the door or window that i placed on the sheet (only one door or window per sheet). I have tried adding a label (Assembly: Type Mark), but this doesnt work. Thankfull for anny replys.

This question may be worded poorly, my apologizes in advance. I've come across a drawing that allows the user to update the tabs in the layout ribbon by updating the block. For example I would change the sheet number on the title block and the layout would update automatically. I've been trying to reverse engineer this but all of the info on how to do this is confusing. Can anyone help please? Below is the title block that I use. Thank you in advance.

Hi all, One drawing in my project, named "E-41 RC Connectors", has a glitchy titleblock. The picture below on the left shows E-40, whose titleblock works fine, and then on the right is E-41. You can see that the logo, company information, and confidentiality statement are all empty, but the lines are still there. All of the attributes are present on both titleblocks. When I try to update the titleblock on the broken sheet, it just stops responding, only letting me zoom in or out, and I can't select anything and have to force quit the application. I created this drawing a while ago and I only noticed this last Friday. I believe there is an issue with the metadata surrounding the drawing, because when I pull an older version from Vault (the thumbnail literally has info in the titleblock), the titleblock is STILL broken. Additionally, when I try to copy the titleblock from a different sheet where it works, and paste it into this drawing, the titleblock is still broken even though it works fine on the other sheet. I have checked the .wdp file, and the drawing is listed in there, and I never removed the drawing from the project or anthing. Let me know if you have any ideas/solutions or experience with this issue. Thanks!

Hi guys. I know there are many posts around this topic, but no solution using the commands below worked for me. LTSCALE ↵ PSLTSCALE ↵ MSLTSCALE ↵ CELTSCALE ↵ What I need to do is to copy one drawing using an old titleblock to a new file with the updated titleblock. No scale up/down is necessary and we can ignore that. Issue: * Original Drawing shows some lines as solid in model space, but dashed in paper space. * The New drawing, doesn't show the dashed line in Paper space. That's the issue. I have the same CTB plot style file that was used in the original drawing, but that's making zero difference in the results I see in the paper space. I didn't even tried to adjust the drawing or print, because I early noticed that inconsistency. I tried for more than an hour with ChatGPT a solution, and with searches online, forums. No solution seems to apply here. Attached you can find: * Original file * New Template file * CTP plot style file Obviously, I deleted all business information and left you only with rectangles to do your tests and trials. Hope someone can help me here. Original in paper space: New File in Paper Space: yes, display line weight is active, but deactivating it makes no difference. Regards
