Title Blocks in Technical Drawings
Firstly, the general title block layout is like that for most technical drawings. And also, you can use this title block template for your technical drawing. The elements inside these title blocks;
- Name: In this section, you can give the company or business name where this technical drawing is belong.
- Drawing Title: Drawing title must be definitive with the shortest phrasing possible. So, we do not recommend using ‘or’ or ‘for’ in the drawing title.

- Drawing Number: In general, each company has its numbering system for technical drawings. Also, in this section, you can find information about the drawing number of that technical drawing.
- Revision Block: This element of the title block contains information about revisions of this technical drawing. The original paper has no revisions, so this number is 0.
- Size: If a technical drawing is drawn in different sizes concerning the original size, you can understand it from this area.
- Approval Block: The approval block contains all the required blocks for the authorities in the company that needs to approve or check the technical drawing. So, this block can change according to different companies or businesses.
