Common Pitfalls

• Not exiting "Edit Sheet Format" mode will prevent changes from applying to the drawing.
• Forgetting to link text to properties means the title block won't update automatically.
• Inserting images without resizing can distort the title block layout.
• Editing the sheet format on the wrong sheet can cause confusion if multiple sheets exist.

text

Wrong way:
- Add text without linking to properties.
- Forget to exit "Edit Sheet Format".

Right way:
- Use "Link to Property" for dynamic text.
- Always exit "Edit Sheet Format" after editing.
