Drawing Title GDL

Hi Guys

In a new office, seems they don't really use the drawing titles very well on their drawings. Figured I'd just write my own with my basic understanding of GDL.

 

Drawing title objects, where are these located? Like how do I find the archicad built in ones so that I can re-create it as my own custom version/ learn.

 

For reference I've shown a screen shot of their current manual drawing title that I'm going to re-create.

 

Operating system used: Windows

The easiest way is the select a drawing on a layout, with the drawing title you want to edit and press Ctrl + Shift + O. And then do a save as a new library part. And then edit till your hearts content. ☺️

 

 If you want to build a new drawing title from scratch, just ensure you have the subtype set to Drawing Title so it will be selectable from the Drawing Title settings of the drawing in the layout.
