• Inserts the correct Wolski titleblock.
• Adds Wolski Page Setups for consistent printing (and batch printing using Publish).

Procedure:
Select the Titleblock tool and then select the desired titleblock based on the following codes:

• SP = Space Planning
• WD = Working Drawing
• CA = Contract Administration  

• A new layout will be created, right click on the Layout tab to rename according to Layout Naming Standards.

Loading Wolski Layers

There are two ways to get access to the Wolski layers.

1. Anytime you start a new drawing (or create a new drawing with the ~Wolski Blank Drawing.dwt template).
   
2. Press the Layers button and then select Load All Layers.

Note: You might need the second option if you purge out the layers in a drawing.
