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.
