Custom Title Block Automation in OrCAD Capture

VKPA 2 months ago

How can I automate the resizing and customization of a title block in OrCAD X (Version 24.1 S005) based on different page sizes (e.g., A, B, C, D)?

Currently, I have a title block that fits perfectly on Size D paper, but when I switch to Size B, the title block is too large to fit correctly.

I understand that I can manually create different title blocks for each page size. Still, before doing so, I want to check if there is a built-in method, template feature, or automation script that dynamically resizes or adjusts title blocks based on the selected page size.

Is such automation supported, or are there recommended best practices for efficiently handling multi-size title block requirements?

Hi VKPA ,

You can automate title block placement based on page size (e.g., A0, A1, A2, etc.) using a TCL script. It allows you to select the sheet size and inserts the corresponding title block automatically. While resizing a single title block dynamically may not be possible, you can assign specific blocks for each size.

Here’s a helpful article on ASK with the script and steps:
