Purpose of Title Block Manager
Have MicroStation V7, V8 and V8 XM title blocks that you need to make changes to, but don’t have time to do it manually?
Axiom’s Title Block Manager is the complete title
block management system that ensures the consistency of the
look and content of your project title blocks, by automating
batch changes to them.
Manage pre-existing MicroStation title blocks
MicroStation Title Block Manager can
intelligently read a batch of design files and distinguish
between elements in the design and those in the title block.
Once the MicroStation title block elements are found, Title Block Manager
finds the values within the title block and attaches a Title
Block Manager-specific linkage to them. This feature dramatically
cuts down the time it takes to perform mundane tasks like
modifying sheet numbers or adding revision data into a title
block.
Update MicroStation title blocks from Excel or Access
Title Block Manager creates a link between
MicroStation title block information in MicroStation and either an Excel
spreadsheet or an Access table. This link allows for the automatic
updating of title block data from changes made to the spreadsheet
or database and vice versa. For example, you can automatically
update sheet numbers throughout a project when you add a new
sheet mid-project.
MicroStation title block templates
MicroStation title blocks templates are stored as cells in a cell library by Title Block Manager, which allows you to easily
access these cell libraries from its main dialog box. By using
templates, you can ensure the consistency of the look of your
title blocks.
