What purpose does the Title Block Tab in the Design Template serve.

Nikom74

I am attempting to get title blocks to work in my designs, but they do no behave how the help and tutorials say they should. 

When I start a new design, and fill in the Title Block tab of the Design template

And then place a title block from the Capsym library

The result is an incomplete Title block with nothing automatically filled in. The Title , Organization Name and Rev should be filled in because they are fields in the Design Template ->Title Block

Other than clicking on each title block on each sheet and editing fields, the only way I have found to edit the Title blocks is to use Edit -> Browse - > TitleBlocks and then use the properties editor to make changes.

This is really inconvenient because there are 20+ fields of unhelpful information which cannot be hidden or arranged for clarity

This shouldn't be so difficult. Why doesn't the standard built in Title Block , located in Orcad's provided Libraries , auto fill in the information I provide for my design?

Thanks

  • The Design Template is only active at the start of a New Project - File>New>Project, the project gets created with the Title Block placed from the specified library in the default Page added and the Title Block properties are "baked into" the DSN file so that, when you add a new Page, you get the page size specified from the Design Template that the DSN file was created with and the library Title Block placed with the properties filled in.
