Title Block Changes Justification When Edited
Title Block Changes Justification When Edited
(OP)
Trying to make use of the Title Block functionality in SW 2011, I have everything nice and centered, but when I go to change the data, the justification switches to the left and messes everthing up.
Side Note: Anybody else confused by how changing the justification moves the entire text box instead of the text? Seems very odd to me.

RE: Title Block Changes Justification When Edited
When you left align the text, the text expands away from the origin.
When you centre align it, the text expands equally on each side of the origin.
As for your problem with the text boxes messing up in your Title Block, check if you have them set to "Follow Document Default." The default is left-aligned, unbolded.... When you put your boxes in to your title block, it is best to uncheck that box so the alignment never changes.
It becomes a very manual process for changing all the boxes, but you shouldn't have to update the style of your title block very often (if ever; once you get it finished).

I fixed mine by changing the justification, then re-saving the drawing template.

When I try to set up the title block feature, it switches them all the left justification
Except for the actual title of the drawing, I have 4 notes there that stay just how they are supposed to.
No one else is having trouble with this? It's really weird that only some of the notes are affected (maybe its the size of the text box?)
I'm uploading a blank copy of it, try and see, maybe something on my computer is set up differently.

space *linked value* space
Maybe for the brief instant where the value is switched it defaults back to left justification, for some reason.
I actually set the document font settings to center and the problem was still arising, so very weird.
