Creating an Accurate Template Title Block the Easy Way

If you have ever tried to sketch an accurate title block in a new Autodesk Fusion 360 template, this blog is for you.  The title block sketching environment only shows positional dimensions without the ability to specify them directly.  This short video presents a method of creating a dimensional layout, in the Fusion 360 model sketch environment, and then transferring it into the template title block creation environment.  This method works in all versions of Fusion 360.

Creating a Drawing Template in Autodesk Fusion 360

Autodesk Fusion 360 installs with a default drawing template containing one attributed title block.  For most users this is not adequate to show the metadata they need for the fabrication of the part or for customer presentation.  Companies also would like to add a logo or some other graphic making the drawing more identifiable.

In this video, I will go through the process of creating a Fusion 360 drawing template with a couple of interchangeable title blocks as well as a logo.  I will show the process of importing a title block for an attributed AutoCAD drawing and show the process for switching between title blocks.

I will also briefly mention how to create placeholder views which can be used to create automatic views of an assembly, component, flat pattern, folded component or annotation when places on the drawing template.
