What are the steps to add your own title block

Hello,

Can you please help with the steps for the changing the title block, to my own logo? I have tried to figure out with no success. Or direct me where I can access the steps. 

I appreciate the help. 

Thanks,

Daria

Daria,

Start from scratch or modify an existing drawing  - Whatever works for you - Personally, I'd start from scratch.

Take a paper size you like and draw exactly what you want your title block to be at 1:1. You can add anything you would normally draw in Softplan - Lines, arcs, symbols, pictures etc. All the fonts can be whatever you want ... Bold, Italic and sized accordingly. ANYTHING you can draw can be shown in the title block.

Use STAMPS for all the variable items, and then save it in the Softplan\Title Block directory.

This is how mine looks:

Where exactly are you having difficulties? Maybe I can answer specific problems more accurately.

To edit existing title block to import your own logo:

Open an existing drawing…

goto your SoftPlan title block folder…

open your title block of choice…

edit drawing to your heart’s content…

save drawing to title block folder.

Thanks for your comments. I am still not getting this. I guess I will call in for some help. 

I am really new to Softplan, I have some drawings completed to send off but I am not sure how to change the Softplan logo to my logo. 

See the video at the following link for information on customizing a title block. At about the 1:30 point in the video a new logo is inserted. The video is from SoftPlan version 2020 but relevant to version 2022 as well.

You have to OPEN the TITLE BLOCK drawing, by opening the actual Softplan\Title Block > drawing.spd in a drawing window. You then do the required edits, then save it back into the TITLE BLOCK sub-directory with a new name.

Any idea on how to fit the Title Block project name, for instance, in a specified area? I am having trouble knowing how to get @PROJEJCT_NAME info to go to the edges of the lines I drew....

Here is a screenshot--when I edit the stamp "@PROJECT_NAME" to adjust to "fit on adjust" it comes out looking like this, with a smaller font--and I wanted that project name to stay in the X-Large font, which I had given it.

You can't use "Fit on Adjust" it will always change the font size. That's what it does. Unchecking "Fit on Adjust" should do what you want. As long as the font is centre justified, it will stay in place. It's up to you to ensure that the text in that location does not spill out of it's allotted frame.

Basically , I believe, you want to find the "Title Block" file in "C" and select the "Softplan" your using, then at bottom of drop down is Title Block.

Open that up and select one you would like to modify.    This file are just the same as a plan drawing, and you adjust , move, edit notes, etc. like a drawing.

Import a Jpeg into it for the logo, or how ever you have it and again the title block is a drawing so, it edits, etc. just like a drawing.

But if you are setting up say a 36 x 24 plan page, that is what you have and then when you pick a title block in "Planset"  you use "Arch D" which by default is 36x24.

If you want say a 17x11?  you want to make a title block this size.
