Submit your own work. As with every assignment, exercise and exam, this work is to be created and completed on your own. While we encourage students to help each other, the focus of each task is on individual learning, practicing skills as well as problem solving. Plagiarism and cheating are serious offences that will not be tolerated.

The following exercise will demonstrate how to create an ANSI-D size simple design drawing titleblock.

Start a new drawing in inches.
Draw a 34"x22" rectangle. This will be the titleblock outer edges.
Offset the top, right, and bottom lines in 1/4"; offset the left line in 3/4".
Offset the inner right line 3" to the left to create the block area on the titleblock.
Offset lines up in the block area to create the fields. The fields are multiples of 1/2" high.
Create areas for the following fields:

Sheet Number
Sheet Title
Scale
Revision
Drawn by
Date Drawn
Project Name

The above fields are the minimum required for this type of titleblock; if desired, you can add fields for the Company name and Logo, Project Number, Architect's seal...

Notes:

For titles, use a text height of 1/16", red colour.
For text in the fields, use 1/8" high text, white colour, except for the Sheet Number, which is 1/4" high text.
All lines in the titleblock should be Cyan (very thick) in colour, except for the four outer lines, make those colour #8 (very thin).
