Can AutoMEP use my own title block on the sheets it makes?
Yes. Upload your office's title block once and AutoMEP puts it on the sheets it creates.
Adding one. Open Settings, find Your title blocks, give it a name and upload a .dwg or .dwt file. AutoMEP checks the file and shows you a preview. Title blocks drawn in inches or in millimeters both work.
Confirming or picking. If AutoMEP found something that looks like your title block, such as a border sized for a sheet, it asks you to confirm that's the one. If the file holds several, you pick the one to use. If it can't find a title block at all, it says so and asks for the file your title block lives in.
What fills each field. Each field has a fill source you can change:
One for the account, or one per project. Make one the default for your whole account. On a project page in Expert mode, the Title block setting lets you keep the account default, choose a different one, or use none, and it's where you enter that project's own values.
Drawings that already have one. If your drawing already has its own title block, new sheets match that one.
What never changes. Sheets already in your drawing are never changed, and sheets AutoMEP made earlier keep the title block they were made with. Changes to your settings apply to new requests only.

What fills each field. Each field has a fill source you can change:
- Project name, job number or address
- Sheet number or sheet title
- Date, which follows your account's own timezone and date format
- Scale, which on a millimeter title block reads as a standard metric ratio
- Set per project, for values that change from job to job
- Leave blank
