PLOTMAKER TITLE TYPES ARE EVIL

Anonymous — Wed, 29 Jan 2025 14:22:13 GMT

every time i try to save or upload another title type my computer freezes and losses all the work i have done in PM. i have tried creating them on AC publishing as a pm file and loading them in. it worked other than the fact that the layers were no hidden when the title type was attached to the drawing and the computer locked up if i tried to load more than one at a time. i am not sure what i need to do from here. can i get some help

What steps are you taking?

1. In plotmaker with Navigator set on Tree by subsets

2. Right click on the folder 'Title Types'

3. chose create new title type (title type from file allows you to bring in a title type from another lbk)

4. I copy and paste what I want from another title and add the new items

5. give it a name

Tip: when creating a new title, use the global origin as the bottom left corner (of the bounding box of the title graphic). The existing ones are set up that way and then if you switch title types on a drawing it will stay in the same relative position.

i used your method. i right clicked on the title types and chose load from file and them chose the ones i wanted to load the click open. at that point the computer hard drive made a funnny sound and gave up. the computer locked up and then automaticlly closed plotmaker without saving. that is dern annoying

Then import them.

1. Actually this is what I usually do.
2. select import,
3. find the lbk you want to bring in title [or master] from
4. select title(s)you want
5. and import.
