Padding #
Users will be required to measure the actual space reserved for the meta-information and use the information to set the padding information.
Case 1: Padding value is not set

For case 1, you can see when the padding value is not set, hence the vertical detailing will overlapped with vertical detailing as image below:
Case 2: Padding value is set in the parameter (i.e: bottom padding set to 70mm)

For case 2, when the bottom padding is set to a certain value (i.e: 70mm), user can see that there is space allocated and vertical detailing no longer overlapped with title block
Margin #
This is represented by the dotted line and it is the printable area or printer margins for a given sheet and a given printer/plotter.
Do ensure the title block is within these margins, if not they will not be print/plot.
Case 1: Default margin value

As default setting, users can see that the title block will stick to the LEFT and TOP margin.
Case 2: Margin value is set in the parameter (i.e: left 30mm and top 15mm)

User can see the margin on top and left will have some space from the paper edge as image below:
Notes:
- When the title block is imported, by default the title block will stick to the Top and Left side of the margins.
- Hence, user will require to edit the margin value to allow some space between the margin and paper edge
