Text wrapping in Title block
Text wrapping in Title block
(OP)
I have been looking fro away to wrap text on to another line in the titel block. I have searched thru the post and other sites but can't seem to get it to work.
Has anyone found the way to do it?
I want to insert the Title from summary page one.
thanks

RE: Text wrapping in Title block
There is that information. It doesn't hit the exact issue but it does explain it and it might work for you if you used a DT.
Other wise there is no other way to wrap the text when your entering it from the Summary page. Doing an enter while in the text box will wrap the text, but there is no way to my knowledge to do this in the summary info area.
Maybe someone else has found a way???

I use a different approach for this one. In a Visual Basic (VB) program the user enters the 1st line of text in one box then the 2nd part of the title in the next text box. The VB program combines these together with a line feed (see code below). SolidWorks see this as a line feed and puts the second line of description on line 2.
NewLine = Chr$(13) & Chr$(10) ' Line Feed or Enter
RetVal = Part.AddCustomInfo("Title1", "Text", UCase$(txtSfDrawingTitle.Text _
& NewLine & txtSfDrawingTitle2.Text))

$PRPSHEET:"Description"
$PRPSHEET:"Description2"
Example: FUEL PUMP, MAIN ENGINE
ASSEMBLY OF
This way it fills in automatically when I'm designing a and new part and making a drawing of that part. Two......it drives the custom properties of PDMworks. This will allow you to do wild card searches.
I hope this helps,

Yes that does work well. What we needed the line return for was the description in the BOM. By put in a line feed in the description the SolidWorks BOM would put in two lines of text.

With this setting, our descriptions are multiline, as many lines as you want.

I don't supose you would be willing to share that VB macro fill with the rest of us? It sounds like you are doing just what we need.

It's a VB app we modified for our use and keep on the network, and the users run a small macro pointing to the .exe file.
If the download will not work for you, I could probably pack up our files and email them after making sure there is nothing proprietary. I don't have anywhere to post.
RE: Text wrapping in Title block
If you don't mind and are allowed, I would like to get your files to see what you have done.
