Capture provides ANSI, and OrCAD title blocks in the CAPSYM.OLB library. In addition, you can create your own title block and store it in a library for future use.
There are two types of title blocks:
- A default title block is placed by Capture at the lower right corner of each schematic page.
- Any number of custom title blocks that can be placed at any location on the schematic page
The following properties are displayed for a title block in the property editor. Note that all properties might not be displayed depending on the type of block placed.:
| Cage Code | Specifies the Cage Code. You can set the value for this property in the Title Block tab of the Design Template dialog box (Options - Design Template). |
| Design Create Date | Specifies the date of creation for the design. The value for this property is set automatically. |
| Design Create Time | Specifies the time of creation for the design. The value for this property is set automatically. |
| Design File Name | Specifies the path and file name of the design file. The value for this property is set automatically. |
| Design Modify Date | Specifies the date of the last modification to the design. The value for this property is set automatically. |
| Design Modify Time | Specifies the time of the last modification to the design. The value for this property is set automatically. |
| Design Name | Specifies the name of the design. The value for this property is set automatically. |
| Doc | Specifies the document number. You can set the value for this property in the Title Block tab of the Design Template dialog box (Options - Design Template). |
| Name | Specifies the name of the title block. By default, this is the name of the symbol in the library. You can manually update this field. |

| OrgAddr2 | Specifies the second line of the organization address. You can set the value for this property in the Title Block tab of the Design Template dialog box (Options - Design Template). |
| OrgAddr3 | Specifies the third line of the organization address. You can set the value for this property in the Title Block tab of the Design Template dialog box (Options - Design Template). |
| OrgAddr4 | Specifies the fourth line of the organization address. You can set the value for this property in the Title Block tab of the Design Template dialog box (Options - Design Template). |
| OrgName | Specifies the organization name. You can set the value for this property in the Title Block tab of the Design Template dialog box (Options - Design Template). |
| Page Count | Specifies the number of schematic pages in the design. This value is updated when you annotate a design. |
| Page Create Date | Specifies the date of creation for the schematic page. The value for this property is set automatically. |
| Page Create Time | Specifies the time of creation for the schematic page. The value for this property is set automatically. |
| Page Modify Date | Specifies the date of the last modification to the schematic page. The value for this property is set automatically. |
| Page Modify Time | Specifies the time of the last modification to the schematic page. The value for this property is set automatically. |
| Page Name | Specifies the name of the schematic page. The value for this property is set automatically. |
| Page Number | Specifies the number of the schematic page. The page number determines when it will be printed in relation to the other schematic pages of the design. This value is updated when you annotate a design. |
| Page Size | Specifies the page size of the schematic page, as was set at creation time. |
| RevCode | Specifies the revision. You can set the value for this property in the Title Block tab of the Design Template dialog box (Options - Design Template). |
| Schematic Create Date | Specifies the date of creation for the schematic. The value for this property is set automatically. |
| Schematic Create Time | Specifies the time of creation for the schematic. The value for this property is set automatically. |
| Schematic Modify Date | Specifies the date of the last modification to the schematic. The value for this property is set automatically. |
| Schematic Modify Time | Specifies the time of the last modification to the schematic. The value for this property is set automatically. |
| Schematic Page Count | Specifies the number of schematic pages in the given schematic. This value is updated when you annotate a design. |
| Schematic Page Number | Specifies the order of the schematic page within the schematic. This value is updated when you annotate a design. |
| Source Library | Specifies the path and file name of the library from where the title block was placed. The value for this property is set automatically. |
| Source Symbol |
Specifies the name of the symbol for the title block in the Source Library. The value for this property is set automatically. |
| Title | Specifies the title. You can set the value for this property in the Title Block tab of the Design Template dialog box (Options - Design Template). |
Addition of Page Name property in Title Block will reflect the following changes in Capture from Quarterly Incremental Release (QIR) 3 onwards:
- In Legacy designs that have no Page Name property in Title Blocks
Page Name property is automatically added to Title Blocks, when legacy designs are opened.
- In Legacy designs that have user added Page Name property in Title Blocks
If user has added Page Name property to the Title Blocks, then the user added Page Name property is not updated on renaming the schematic page name. To solve this issue, delete the user added page name property from the title block.
