What is the primary function of a title block in AutoCAD?

The primary function of a title block in AutoCAD is to include essential information about the drawing, such as the project title, the name of the client or company, the name of the drafter, and various other project specifics like dates and drawing numbers. While a title block typically serves as a border, it also acts as an organized space for this critical information. It forms part of the overall layout of the drawing and helps standardize presentations in technical documents.

While the other functions listed—summarizing costs, showing object dimensions, and commenting on drawing details—are important aspects of architectural and engineering drawings, they do not pertain to the primary role of the title block itself. The title block’s primary focus is to provide clear identification and project information, supporting the viewer’s understanding and providing the necessary context for the drawings produced.
