Generally, the title block is placed in the lower right-hand corner of the drawing sheet, regardless of the size of the drawing (except for vertical title block). There are three sizes of title blocks: a block used for A-, B-, C-, and G-size drawings, a slightly larger block for D-, E-, F-, H-, J-, and K-size drawings, and a vertical title block. The vertical title block format must be used for all 22-in. by 34-in. (D-size) drawings and is optional for 28-in. by 40-in. (F-size) drawings. In a multiple-sheet drawing, either the basic title block or a "continuation sheet title block" format may be used for second and subsequent sheets provided all sheets are of the same size. Certain information common to all drawings in the basic title block is optional in the continuation sheet title block.
