I always use property sheets for propagating data to the placeholders in the template, since Solidworks added that handy dandy properties editor/builder to newer versions of solidworks. In addition, I keep revisions separate from title blocks. It's still on the same page, just placed at the top. Solidworks default template is just fugly as butt ugly gets, I redid my own complete.

[@TomiLynch]

Why does the order in which you select the text blocks when setting up the title block matter, and what would be the correct order? 6:15

[@with-Aryan]

They've put it there for your ease of use and faster speed and there is no 'correct' sequence. It's just your preference

[@danielmoreno9935]

I followed the steps and tried to create another title block for a separate table that I made at the top of my sheet, but it just loads up the same title block I already created when I click title block fields. Can I only create 1?

[@danielmoreno9935]

What I got going on is I made my title block at the bottom and made empty boxes, notes, etc. I then made a custom revision table that I wanted to have set up so I can input things like on the title block.

[@with-Aryan]

You will have to save it as a template to open up every time.

[@danielmoreno9935]

@@with-Aryan I made the table with line sketches, I didn’t insert it with the table tool. Can I save the table I sketched as a template to?

[@ericbaumgartner6558]

you should have added how to make templates with different sheet sizes. that can be tricky.

[@with-Aryan]

good point! I forgot abou thtat. but it's no different!

[@muhammadalijalaluddinrazal3753]

i made a custom drawing template . n when i try to insert my part , the title block start scrambling (except the frame). anyone know how to fix this? i try safe sheet but it turn out blank .

[@krutarthgohel8813]

Please make videos about how to manage heavy complex assembly documents and how to save it

[@with-Aryan]

Sure, mainly comes down to suppressing threads etc, which you don't need to see all the time, apart from simplifying models using configurations, then when you are ready you can set them up in their fully detailed state.

You are the best Solidworks instructor I have ever seen over the twenty years of using Solidworks! Thank you!

[@with-Aryan]

Thank you

Aryan, I received your GDT cheat sheet. It helps to understand easily. How to choose Tolerance value and GDT values using General Tolerance Chart. Is there a cheat sheet for that too?

[@with-Aryan]

It's nothing you can memorize! you have to understand and learn that! So once the course is out, after Oct 5th my friend

[@JustTryGambling]

To flesh out automating blocks more, you can assign the title to file name, sheet name, etc. then you can set your scale using a property. You can also set the current sheet as a property as well so if you have multiple sheets, It will automatically update the number to be correct for the current sheet. You can also set your sheet size as a property as well. And many more. All of this stuff comes in handy once you set up a document standard with all the preferred settings and a sheet format with your blocks - you will never have to mess with anything again if you get a system down. I am just learning all this stuff recently, but the way I like to think about it, and how I think it should work is that each block of information should be a module that can be dynamically changed or at least changed easily. Base sheet format, first page title block, second page title block, revision table, BOM or parts tables, should all be plugins that add on top of your base easily. Don't get too complicated. Remember, KISS.

[@with-Aryan]

Great tip, creating linked parameters is the way to go.

[@audaxrallymedia]

Hi! I know it was published half year ago but i got a question from Gost user: is the letters of view and datums may to interfere or must be follow in alphabetical order?

[@with-Aryan]

if you are refering to the ABC datums, you start defining the datums from A and go alphabetically. But in the GD&T callouts, you don't have to call all or any of them. Did I get your question right?

[@audaxrallymedia]

@@with-Aryan Thank you for answering! I mentioned a bit differ. For example: I have section view F and detail view J then i add datum. So i must continue with K letter for datum? or my first datum might start with letter A ?

I have a question. Should assemblies have its unique property tabs and drawing templates? I have already created a property tab and drawing template for my parts. Once I open an assembly, the property tab (created in my part file) is not uploading. And therefore, no assembly-specific information are uploaded into my assembly drawing.

[@with-Aryan]

Yes! the property you've done belongs to individual parts. An assembly needs its own property. However, some fields e.g. Author could be in common but still...

[@KaushalPrajapati-ku6bi]

Hello Aryan How can we automate sheet metal part thickness in title box? I couldn't find that property.

[@with-Aryan]

Automate? Do you want to assing an equation to it you mean?

[@JustTryGambling]

Insert > Table > Revision Table. Just saved you 10-20 minutes of messing with stuff.

[@with-Aryan]

Definitely will come handy, specially in the production ready setup.

Great job Aryan!!

[@with-Aryan]

Thank you for kind words.

[@constantinosschinas4503]

Is there a property that links to current drawing units, for use in Sheet Format? ? Or a workaround. Have being pulling my hair and do not have many to spare.

[@with-Aryan]

you would try templates, but I will have to investigate.
