Viewport defaults to 'Title with line' , I manually change this to 'Title no line' on every view. I remember a few releases back there was no way to change this default, has this changed? Also, is it possible to change the size and fonts of the Viewport Title? I've searched in properties of viewport, but not found way of changing anything other than lineweight and colour. Working in Revit Architecture 2011

The view title is a family. Locate the family in the library and modify it. Then reload it into the drawings.

Thanks for the prompt reply. I've found the file 'View Title w Sheet-Ref Sheet' in the folder ......./Annotations/Architecture - I assume that's correct? I've modified the file and loaded into project - nothing changes. I assume I'm not doing this correctly?

You will need to apply that family to the view types. Click on a view on a sheet and go to properties-->Edit Type and select the new view title in the pull down called "Title"

Found the problem, you have to edit type once new family reloaded. This solves the second question of changing Viewport title fonts, colours, sizes, etc. However, when importing new drawings to the sheet the default is still with line - anyone know if this can be altered?

The View Title (View Title w Sheet-Ref Sheet) and the 'Line' are two separate Type Properties of the Viewport type. See image.

Mr. dgcad 1. Many thanks: As a sole practitioner Architect living in the sticks your training videos brought me from the 17th century pens/quills/tee square to 21st in one painful year of very steep learning curve. Missed out on the whole 2D CAD chore, possible advantage now reading some of the issues people get involved with on this site. Thanks again, owe you more than the subscription charged, must be a least a beer or three, (side effect, did end up talking 'abooooot' for a while - not too difficult for a Scot though : ). 2. Original question: I think it was in one of your earlier leasons you lamented this default not being able to be altered(?). I tried the box you illustrate ticking earlier, it gets the result I know, but doesn't change the default of the project (underlined title) . Still got to manually change every view on sheets, or is there a clever method?

We have our own title family without the adjustible line - just a fixed length. So I would suppose you can have one without a line.....

A quick work around is overwrite the values in the type properties of 'Title with Line' with 'No Title' as you have duplicated the 'No Title' from the original. (If you have only one type in the project)
If you have multiple View Title types then follow the procedure:
By default the project has 'Viewport-Viewport1'. This is original and default when you drag views on sheets.
1. You can rename this 'Viewport1' to 'Present'.For example you have 3 types of View Titles say 'ABC', 'XYZ' and 'No title'
2. Duplicate the 'Present' to the above said names. Now you have 4 types.
3. If you want to place 'ABC' titles then in the 'Present' change the 'Title' to 'ABC' and start placing the views.
4. Then again when you want to place 'No title', select the 'Present' viewport and 'Select All' from the type selector change to 'ABC'. All the previous placed Viewports are changed from 'Present' to 'ABC'.
5. Now change the 'Present' Title to 'No title' and start palcing and so on...
Hope this work around helps!!!
