Layer for Title Block and Border

[Mitch Mermel]

As for creating a titleblock on layer 0...

I have yet to see any title block composed of a single color. Typically the heavy lines are one color, the thin lines another; bold text and fine text also have different colors.

Don't think of the titleblock as a block symbol, but rather as a drawing in it's own right. Under those conditions, nothing should be drawn on layer 0.

When you xreference the titleblock drawing into your sheet, the National CAD Standards cad layering guidelines describes the annotation layer **-****-TTLB as being used for "Border and Title Block"

The layer **-****-TITL is for drawing or detail titles

You must fill in the **-**** for your own discipline. As an engineering firm where we're handling 6 disciplines for a project, I prefer the titleblock go on layer G-ANNO-TTLB (general, annotation, titleblock).
