is there a way to squeeze this gap in solid works drawing edit sheet format option? I was able to make the lines separating each letter much shorter in length but the width of the page in the image below needs to be skinnier. is there a way to do that? thank you for any help!
you go into sheet format/properties/ and change the width of the sheet but the problem is the width only reduces from one end and I cannot re- center the template to be symmetrical.
Is there a way to reduce the width from both ends?
Hello,
Right-click your drawing and select Edit Sheet format:
If the sheet format toolbar isn't displayed, show it and select Automatic Border:
Click the circled right arrow to display this panel and adjust from here:
You must save your sheet format when done, not your drawing template.
Also, thanks to Mr. Schroeder, see this FAQ for more information on sheet formats: What's the difference between a sheet format and drawing template?
I hope this helps.

so I did this and shrunk the size of the sheet margins but after I press ok it has both bolded borders showing and the sheet page itself does not quite shrink. I think i need to read the link you provided that may help.
thank you
because the thing is i already have an existing border and template and all that so this option you describe is just adding another layer to my existing border/margins.
is there a way to shrink the existing one? thank you
this is the only way I can actuall shrink my sheet but I cannot seem to fit the existing company template I have over the shruken template?
If you could post your drawing here I'm sure someone can help. See How can I attach a file to a forum post? if you aren't familiar with the process.
Are you using the automatic title block border thing?
Because if you are....that is all you have to do it change these numbers:
It could be in Sheet Format -> Automatic Border -> Margins.
