Plotmaker drawings

[Stephen Dolbee]

We have our office standard title block/border that was created in Plotmaker years ago and saved as a plotmaker file (pmk). In the past I have copied this title block for each new job and then edit it as needed. I merged it into my first AC10 job and placed it on the master layout. My problem is, how to edit it. I can open it in plotmaker 9 and edit, but there must be a better way. Are pmk's becoming obsolete, and should I save this title block in a different format? (dxf, dwg, dwf, ?).

Thanks,
Steve

I'd recommend opening the PMK (right click) in PlotMaker 9 and copying a pasting the actual contents onto your ArchiCAD 10 master.

Either that or paste it into a new project, make a view of it and place the drawing on the master. Lot of maintenance this way because you'll always have an external link to it in each project, but it does let you update all your layout books in one hit, should the titleblock change.
