In ProtaDetails, user can select own preferred sheet (titleblock) when generating any detail drawings.

To do so, refer to steps below:

1. Go to "C:\Users\<username>\Documents\ProtaLib\Sheets" and make a copy of Prota original Title Block drawings. 
   
2. Open the copied Prota title block drawing(s), modify it based on your company preferences and save it after you are done with it.
   
3. Do not modified the paper size or position.
4. Ensure the origin (can be checked based on the location of the axis X and Y) of the titleblock drawing is set to top left corner of the titleblock and saved as .dxf format.
   
5. In this example, "ABC.dxf" represents the newly created titleblock.
   
6. When generating detail drawing, tick "Insert To Sheet" and select the "Sheet: ABC.dxf" to change the titleblock.
   
7. Click "OK" once the parameters are correctly set to own preference.
   
8. Click "Draw" to generate the drawing.
