Title Block Stencil

[CI]

I just learned out how to make scalable title blocks. I use these
title blocks as a background image for the rest of the pages in the
project. I would like to be able to edit information on the title
block that would be consistent across all drawing pages, like the name
of the project. I would like for this to be apart of the stencil,
AFTER I drag it in. In AutoCad I would have used attributes on a
block to do this. What would be the equivalent in Visio?

Thanks...

Hello CI,

Sounds like you're after inserted fields. Add a shape the page, press F2 to
edit the text and click Insert / Fields... From here you can add all sorts
of information. For example if you add Page Info / Name into a shape on a
background page the name of any foreground pages in which it's used will be
reflected.

To create a Master (to enable you to drag the shape onto a page) check out
this link on the subject:
