A1 Title Block Measurements

[Bobzy20]

What’s the typical width indicated by the red line shown in the drawing below on a scaled A1 title block?

 

100mm or 50mm

[Tuns]

I would assume 50mm

[Bobzy20]

Based on A0 being 100mm?

[Tuns]

Yes... But they might all be the same for all I know... It is Auto Desk after all.

[Bobzy20]

Clear as mud!

 

I believe there is some sort of standard to these things.

[Tuns]

The only thing that is clear as mud is why you aren't using a dimension command to find out yourself.

I don't have any outside companies A1 title blocks to look at.

We use 100 mm, actually 200 mm because our title block is split in 2 parts laid out side by side, and it is the same size for all paper sizes A0 down to A4 (A4 portrait is slightly smaller because of the boundary)

[stevsmith]

There is no definitive standard for the size of title block on a drawing.

It would be more personal preference and what information has to be conveyed with the discipline involved.

 

A1 - Between 90-100mm

 

Like Steven says, it's best to try and keep the same size title block for all drawing sizes, although A4's titleblock are usually always a different size and/or the orientation can be changed around to portrait.

Thanks for the answers everybody, it keeps the site on top.

 

I know generally most companies have a width of 100mm for A0 whereas I made a version a few years ago which had a width of 155mm. While this may look ok sometimes it was hard to fit a building inside! A building scaled at 1:100 would crash over into the title block details.

 

By reducing this width to 100mm it wasn’t a problem anymore and also I guess it looked more professional.

 

I thought maybe an A1 title block would have a 50mm width being that it’s half the size of A0 to keep everything in proportion.

 

I was just throwing it out there.

There is no typical width. You can make it as bid or as small as you like.
