Draft title word wrap

Draft title word wrap

Draft title word wrap

(OP)
Hello;

I propogate the title of our drafts using the title field information located in the file properties of the referenced file.  My problem is, when the title is lengthy, the title stretches beyond the box size.  What I thought would be great would be to combine the text box properties of word wrap and centering using information from a callout.  I am new to this system, how does everybody deal with titles in their drafts?

Thanks for the help

Thanks for the info, very helpful. Our title's somtimes stretch to three lines.  Hoping to get the funtion without user intervention.  Is there a table that lists all of the text codes or underwritten registers that you might know of?

Hi
Could you give an example of the long title? (I'm just curious.)

Hi!

Our titles (descriptions) can reach 60 characters, mostly for purchased parts.  Our title box size on our drawings is 3.17w x 1.13h with .18 arial text.

Thanks
