Hello everyone,
@Jose
If I understand correctly.
In fact, that's what he's already doing... Except that it copies the sheet to have both in the same file. And I think that's why he wants the changes to happen on both at the same time.
After that, to try to find a solution, it would be necessary to answer the question of gt22.
@fthomas:
No, it's the 2 at the same time.
@gt22:
Because my cartridge is set in a certain way that the customer's cartridge is the one who provides it to me.
Same as for gt22 above.
It's a good idea but I didn't want to have fun changing the cartridge every time.
I would have rather imaged an image of sheet1 on sheet2 with a different cartridge.
FYI, attached is a screenshot to change the background: right click on the background plan, property, then browse to select the desired background.
Good luck
In this case, I really don't see, sorry.
The cartouche is integrated into the background so changing it without changing the background seems complicated to me.
It may be possible to manage this with a macro: clicking on a button allows you to generate the same shot with a different block, but it is beyond my skills and will, in any case, be developed in a specific way.
Good luck
Hello
I think that the @Jose-accessa solution is the best, you always work with your cartridge and when it comes to exporting or having your client validate you change the basemap.

Since I don't know Solidworks, I don't know if it's possible.
Put one cartridge in one layer and the other cartridge in another layer.
Show and hide the layers according to the title block to appear.
S.B
If you want both cartridges simultaneously, why not make a background with these two cartridges?
Hello
This will probably be possible with a macro.
Why not make a macro by learning to see what happens in VBA when handling by hand?
To get started in VBA, I recommend my "save as" tutorial:

Hello
As S.B says, the best thing to do is to use layers.
We put one title block in one layer and the other in another layer and we just have to activate the layer and therefore the title block we want to see.
Yes except that the layers are Autocad, not SW...
On Autocad, it's a "drawing board" so you can do what you want.
On SW, it's configurable (even if Autocad is also to a lesser extent), so it's much less simple if not to change the whole background.
@fthomas
No, in fact he wants to be able to change cartridges quickly on the same plane, one cartridge for his plans, another for when he sends to his client, so with the client's cartridge, but either one or the other.
Or maybe I didn't understand anything, but I think I'm right:)
Hello
@jose-accessa: I don't agree with you about layers! even if it's not as easy as on Autocad, I regularly use layers on my plans. In this case, as I say, you just have to make 2 different cartridges on 2 different layers and display only the one you need! On the other hand, I haven't tested this principle on the backgrounds but there's no reason why it shouldn't work the same way as on the main sheet.
Hello
I am in exactly the same case for 2 companies that are part of a group
My solution:
I imposed a common cartridge format with the same properties in the same place and placed them in block
the first plan to make I create 3 copies F1 F2 F3 for each company
The first attempt was to have a drawing with the sheets but it is easier to create them once the first dimensions are made and duplicated
but if you have a simpler method I'm following the post
@rim-b: And is the whole thing programmable by reference like a classic cartridge?
If so, I'm interested:)
A proposal:
Create basemaps by inserting a title block linked to a block located at a location on your network
Create the second title block in bulk with the same name.
Overwrite the block file according to the desired configuration, company or customer cartridge, etc.
Hello
I did a little test, and this is the result. I just made a copy and paste of my background from one layer to another. In your application, you can make 2 different cartridges with the values (retrieved from the 3D) you want, just switch from one layer to another.
The attached answer seems to me to be the best solution to your problem

@+ ;-)
Well, I just tested the layer solution and quite frankly, I'm amazed.
I knew the function under Autocad since it is used a lot but not under SW and I think that creating a background with 2 cartridges under 2 different layers is the best solution.
Thanks to Rim-b for the info anyway:)
