Can anyone share with me an easy way to create, save and reuse a title block for my Line Drawing Editor pages?
I would love to be able to create a template for my title blocks which I can enter my company info, clint name, date, job #, customer sign-off etc.
Any help would be great. Thanks

Re: Title blocks-how to do them?
I would love to be able to easily create title blocks in the LDE, but it's not there yet.
You can copy text from programs like MS Word and paste it into the drawing, but I have not been able to get it to copy tables. You can't even copy anything from one eCabs ESJ file to another. You can copy from one Page to another within an ESJ file. I used to just keep a "template" ESJ file with a title block, so when I created a new job I started with the template. (Kind of bogus...)
Now I just save a JPG from the LDE and copy that into MS Word where it's easy to do titles and such. It would be nice if we could just copy the drawing into Word without the extra step of having to save the JPG. It would also be nice if we could easily copy tables and such from programs like MS Word.

Dave ,
Here is a simple title block that use. Just start all your new jobs with this file and change the file name after you begin creating your job. You can than copy and paste the title block to new pages added within the LDE in the job you are currently working on . ( Not from job to job)
Just change the content to work for you.
Hope this helps
