Choosing a Title as Default in AC10 Layouts

In AC10 the Master Layout can be set as default the same as 9. However the titles folder is now gone. I can select titles after I copy a drawing to a Layout but how do I select a Title as default?

The title is controlled by the Drawing Tool. Its current settings will be applied to anything new that you place (like any other tool.... finally, consistancy!!)

OK the Drawing Tool in the documenting window. That helps a lot so it looks like if I just select the Layout Book those settings then become the new default settings. Because if I don't have anything in the layout selected the Title Block is greyed out.

Also, is there any good reason not to put the Layout on the ArchiCAD layer? I would think you would always want it to show up? Just trying to get a grasp on the concepts. Three years to get to 45 posts, mostly with answers, I think I am going to double that in the next week.

I've been placing all my drawings on the Archicad Layer... it seems like the safe way to make sure they do not disappear!
