Title Block File Format
The title block template file is an XML file. This is a standard format for exchanging data for many web based and standalone applications and is easily extensible. The drawing title block template uses a separate schema file named EasyPower_Drawing_TitleBlock.xsd to validate the items and attributes.
Items can be defined in any order and attributes can be in any order. However, the order matters with text fields that have prompts. The order in which the text with prompts is listed in the XML file will be the same order that the prompts appear on the Title Block tab of the Drawing Properties dialog box.
There are 4 basic types of graphical objects that can be defined for title blocks: rectangles, lines, text and images. Each of these items has attributes that describe their positions, sizes, colors, and so on.
The general file format is shown below:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<TitleBlock xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="EasyPower_Drawing_Title_Block.xsd">
