KOMPAS-3D v23

The title block, as a part of the document detailing, is a special complex object in KOMPAS-3D. The structure of the title block may include one or several tables. These tables have only one difference from ordinary tables. Namely, when creating a title block table, each of its cells must be specially configured (see section Configure Extended Cell Format). Filling in the title block tables in the document is similar to filling in the ordinary table.

Creating a title block that will be included in the new document detailing is performed prior to creation of the detailing.
