Drawing Title Block Templates

Precautions

We recommend that you understand XML before creating or editing templates. It is important to note that XML has a unique syntax, and if punctuation is missing (a “<” for example), then EasyPower will not be able to read the title block. Make sure you have a backup copy of your title block so you can revert back to it if needed.

Editing XML

Use a text editor such as Notepad to edit the title block. Title block template files have the file extension .eztbk (for one-line title blocks) and .eztbkd (for drawing title blocks). The easiest way to modify them is to right-click on the file in Windows Explorer, and then click Open With > Notepad. This allows you to edit the file as a text document and save it.

Important: If you are using Notepad, do not use the File > Save As option. This does not encode the document correctly. As a precaution, always make a copy of the file first in Windows Explorer and then open it with Notepad.
