Project Setup

The following procedure works for setting up both Imperial and Metric projects. It is important that all metric projects be setup this way for linetypes to display properly.

Part 1 – Create Project Xref Titleblock

• In My Computer browse to I:\Titleblocks and Copy the appropriate Titleblock and Paste it the Xref-Images project folder.
  
• Rename the first part of the copied file to reflect the project name (gov___-24x36-Tblk.dwg to Project123-24x36-Tblk.dwg).
  
• Open the Titleblock and edit the project specific information.

Part 2 – Start a New Project Drawing

• Start a new drawing with the NEW command (select acad.dwt as the temple).
• Run the SETUP program.
• Using SAVEAS, save the drawing to the appropriate project folder.

Part 3 – Add Titleblock

• Using the XREF command attach the titleblock.
• Use the new TB command to select and insert appropriate “text” portion of the titleblock.

Part 4 – Create Additional Drawings

• After the first project drawing is setup with Steps 1-3 the rest of the drawings can be created by copying the file or with the SAVEAS command.
