INSERT DRAWING TITLES

These commands create drawing titles. There are currently four title commands: INSTITLE1, INSTITLE2, INSTITLE3, and INSTITLE4. Each is meant to insert a slightly different style of drawing title. INSTITLE1 is designed to insert the drawing location circle on an existing title. INSTITLE2 and INSTITLE3 insert the entire drawing title and INSTITLE4 inserts the entire drawing title with a bar scale at the right end of the title. Each title can have its appearance customized and the titles are ready to be referenced if you edit them using either the DCTXTEDT and/or TXTEDT commands.

User configurable options:

• Appearance of titles
• Whether or not to prompt for attribute values immediately. See the Arch Symbols section of the APS Configuration Utility.
• Layer type - See below and Customizing Architectural Symbols in the Block Library
• Relative offset of the insertion point of the bar scale to the insertion point of the title for INSTITLE4.

  Also see Customizing the block library system

Layers:

• If you are using "No Layer Control" the the symbol will be inserted on whatever layer is current. See the Layer Control section of the APS Configuration Utility.

• The default layer type for this symbol is "Drawing titles".
  • If you are using "Direct Layer Assignment" the layer name is assigned to this layer type in the Layer assignments portion of the Layer Control section of the APS-CONFIG command.
  • If you are using "Layer Schemes" the layer name is assigned to this layer type in the Assigning Layer Names to Layer Types portion of the SCHEMEDIT command.

  The layer type for this command can be changed in the Assigning Layer Types to Commands portion of the Layer Control section of the APS-CONFIG command.
