Custom title block/border to line up with ACADE co-ordinate system

[griff_nz]

Hi there

 

I am trying to create custom borders with x and y co-ordinates, but am having trouble lining it up with the ACADE co-ordinate system. Any ideas out there? I can use an existing template and change fonts etc but what if I wanted to squeeze up the axis or use different reference characters ie. Alpha-numeric instead of numeric-numeric? It may be an easy one for the more experienced out there!!!

You are drawing electrical schematics not site plans so why the concern over coordinates? Doesn't ACADE make use of Snap and Grid?

Thanks for your reply ReMark, the co-ordinate system used in ACADE is used to link parent components with child components, and source-destination wire signals between drawings. These reference signals give the end user of the drawings a 'Go to sheet N, column x row y' to find the destination of the wire or linked component.

 

Also noteworthy is that when I move the UCS to a different part of my drawing ACADE doesn't change its tagging system to suit, so it seems that it is tied to the border itself or maybe the WD_TB data block in the bottom left hand corner.

 

So my problem of trying to match the ACADE auto-tagging co-ordinate system with my custom border may be a little tougher to tackle than I thought!

I thougt you could set the spacing in the ACADE template but when I tried today I couldn't find out how. In fact 2013 ACADE looked very different to what I learned ACADE on - 2008 - and I haven't really used it since. Sorry I can't help.
