Importing a title block in AutoCAD involves inserting a pre-designed title block file (usually a .DWG file) into your drawing. Here are the steps to import a title block in AutoCAD:
Prepare the Title Block File #
Ensure you have a title block file ready in the .DWG format. This file should contain your title block design with placeholders for information like project name, date, author, scale, etc.

Open Your AutoCAD Drawing #
Launch AutoCAD and open the drawing where you want to insert the title block. Make sure the drawing is in edit mode.
Insert the Title Block #
Type INSERT in the command line and press Enter.
In the “Insert” dialog box that appears:
- In the “Insertion point” field, specify where you want to place the title block in your drawing.
- In the “Scale” field, set the desired scale for the title block. If your title block file is set up to be inserted at a specific scale, use that scale.
- Click the “Browse” button and locate the title block .DWG file on your computer.
- Select the title block file, and click the “Open” button.
AutoCAD will return you to the drawing area. Click where you want to place the title block, and it will be inserted.
Adjust the Title Block #
After inserting the title block, you may need to adjust its position, size, or orientation to fit your drawing correctly. You can use AutoCAD’s standard drawing and editing tools for this purpose.
Edit Title Block Information #
Double-click on the title block to enter the block editor mode. In this mode, you can edit the text and other elements within the title block to update information like project name, date, author, and other relevant details.
Exit Block Editor #
When you’ve finished editing the title block, exit the block editor by clicking outside the block or using the “Close Block Editor” button.
Save Your Drawing #
Save your AutoCAD drawing to ensure your changes are preserved.
That’s how you can import a title block into AutoCAD. The specific steps and options may vary slightly depending on your version of AutoCAD, so it’s a good idea to consult the AutoCAD documentation or help resources for any version-specific details.
