Editing a titleblock
Whether the titleblock has been imported or created using the Copy/Paste command,
you can edit it to make any changes you wish.
The "Draw" menu opens, displaying the list of drawing commands available to modify the graphics.
The side panel also changes to display the list of attributes you can insert, and the properties of the
titleblock.
To insert an attribute, double-click in the side panel on the one you wish to insert. Click on a point in
the graphical interface to insert it. Once inserted, the attribute has a contextual menu using which you
can edit the properties to modify the font, justification, height or color or replace it.
The titleblock file is automatically saved when it is closed.
Caution: You are not advised to modify an existing titleblock if it has been used in a project. The
existing drawings will not take the changes into account. However, newly-created drawings will do so
using the modified titleblock.

Definition of Title block attributes
The attributes in the titleblocks are used
to propagate data you have entered in
the properties of the different levels of

Obviously data can only be propagated
if the attribute is present in the titleblock.
