Fields are placeholders for text that will appear in the title block on your schematic.

  The specific text that appears in these fields is entered in the Title Block dialog box, which is accessed from Multisim's main workspace.

For a field's text to appear in the title block in Multisim, you must first place the field for that text in the title block using the Title Block Editor.

Complete the following steps to place a field on the title block:

  1. Select the desired field type from the Fields menu (for example, Revision).

    Or

    Click on the Place “Title” Tag button in the Draw Tools toolbar and select the desired field type from the context menu that displays (for example, Revision).

    The Enter Title Block Attribute dialog box displays the code for the selected field in the Title Block Attribute field. (Since we selected Revision in this example, #REV appears).

  2. Change the formatting of the text as desired:
    • Font—Select desired font from the list or type in.
    • Font Style—Select desired style from the list.
    • Size—Select desired size from the list or type in.
    • Text orientation box—Select either horizontal or vertical orientation.
    • Automatic drop-down—Optionally, select a new color from the context menu that appears when you click on the down-arrow.
  3. Click OK, move the cursor to the desired location and click the mouse to place the field. All placed fields appear in green highlighting, shown in the example below (1). Placed text (2) is not highlighted.

      The width of a field as displayed in the Title Block Editor is not the same as the actual text that is placed in that field using the Title Block dialog box. Space used is also dependant on the font size. If after placing the actual text in the title block using the Title Block dialog box, you find that text overlaps, you must either adjust the text, or return to the Title Block Editor and adjust the positioning of the fields.

      If text in the Title Block dialog box does not appear in your title block, it is because the field corresponding to that text was not placed in the title block using the Title Block Editor.
