How to Create a Horizontal Title Block?

Overview

The Horizontal Title Block option allows you to create a title block with a horizontal layout based on your project requirements. You can customize the title block fields and arrangement to match your preferred drawing format.

1. Click Settings from the profile menu in the top-right corner.

2. Under the X-DRAW Settings tab, select Title Block Settings.

3. Click Add New Title Block.

4. Enter a Title Block Name and select Horizontal as the title block layout type.

5. Click Add to create the title block.

Edit the Title Block

After creating the title block, you will be redirected to the Title Block Editor.

The editor allows you to fully customize your title block by adding or modifying text, variables, shapes, images, icons, and other elements.

The left panel contains all the available design tools.

Click the + (Add) icon from the toolbar, select Shape, and choose the required shape (such as Rectangle, Ellipse, Rhombus, or Border) to add it to the Title Block canvas.

Once the shape is added, you can resize, reposition, and customize it using the options available in the Style panel on the right.

Add Dynamic Variables

Expand the Variables section from the left panel.

The available variable categories include:

• User & Organization
• Account
• Contact
• Project & Design
• Current Date

These variables automatically populate information in the title block based on the project details entered while creating the project.

To replace an existing variable:

1. Select the text element containing the variable.
2. Click the desired variable from the Variables panel.

Configure Paper Size and Orientation

Use the right-side panel to configure the Paper Size and Page Orientation.

The title block automatically adjusts its dimensions based on the selected paper size and orientation, ensuring proper alignment with your drawing.

Save the Title Block

All changes made in the Title Block Editor are saved automatically.

You can also manually save your changes at any time by clicking the Save button.

Go back to Title Block Settings and mark the template as Default.
