Install the files in the directory pointed to in your config.pro "pro_format_dir" entry, and treat them as you would any format per PTC documentation. It is suggested that you keep a "safety" copy of the title blocks in a directory with no user access, and set the file access to "read only" for the files in your "pro_format_dir".
Most installations have a .dtl file to control and standardize their drawings' appearance. The .dtl file is pointed to by your config.pro variable "drawing_setup_file". The following 2 options can be set as shown in the .dtl file, for clarity in the "scale" entry:
view_scale_denominator 1
view_scale_format ratio_colon
Block tolerance values were intentionally left blank, to be set in the formats themselves as notes at the tolerance level preferred by your organization. Alternatively, you could set those notes' value to &linear_tol_0_00 for two place decimals, &linear_tol_0_000 for three place decimals, and &angular_tol_0_0(0000, whatever) for angles. As tolerance requirements vary so widely, this detail was left to be user-defined.
Revision tables are included as x_rev.tbl, where x=drawing size. Simply do a table | save retrieve | pick point command sequence to insert the revision table in the drawing at time of revision. The table does not automatically align, it may take a "move" or two to line it up with the existing revision table(s) in the drawing.
The parameters listed in the file ct_param.inf are used in the title blocks, and defined in the start part ct_form_start.prt exactly as they appear in the drawing formats. If you use a start part, it is suggested that you add at minimum the parameter "fscm" to it, so as to have your organizations cage code automatically appear in all drawings. You can of course add other parameters, such as "modeled_by", to the start part.
Note: Any parameters defined in the drawings' associated part will NOT be prompted for in "draw" mode when creating the drawing, as those parameters are assumed to be defined in the "part"; parameters are most easily defined and modified in the part using the Set Up | Parameters | Modify menu picks. Conversely, any parameters in the format that are NOT defined in the drawings' associated part WILL be prompted for in "draw" mode when creating the drawing.
By using the start part ct_form_start.prt, the parameters for the title block are defined in the part, and need not be entered in draw mode; values of course still need to be entered, but this gives the parameters visibility in both the drawing and the part. Use of a start part with the parameters defined is NOT required for use of the title blocks, it is simply supplied as an example.
Neither views nor layers are defined in this start part, to allow maximum flexibility; for an approach to setting views and layers, see the config.pro file at http://www.cadtools.com/proe/ct_r20_config.pro.
Congratulations on your choice of CAD Toolbox drawing formats, they will save you hours of work!
