How to Generate the Drawing Title Block in the Background View ?

The recommended way to generate drawing Title Blocks in 3DEXPERIENCE CATIA is to use a Table Template. However, by default, the Table Template is instantiated in the main view of the sheet and not in the background view. This means that anyone can move it or modify it unintentionally. I explain below how to change this default behavior by modifying the VBScript macro that manages the instantiation/removal/Update of Title Blocks and Revision Tables.

1.    Copy & paste the Dress-up_DS_1.CATScript file (inside \xxx\Program Files\Dassault Systemes\B426_Cloud\win_b64\VBScript\FrameTitleBlock folder)
2.    Rename it “Dress-up_DS_1_background.CATScript” for example
3.    Modify the lines 496, 610, 672 and 972 replacing Views.Item(1) by Views.Item(2). Indeed, Views.Item(2) corresponds to the background view

Then you will just have to select this new macro in the Page Layout command (see attached video). From now on, all your Title Blocks will be generated in the sheet background
