    Default Milti-line Labels

    Hello all you happy people!

    Just trying to create a custom title block for our firm and ran across an issue I'm not sure how to handle.

    In the titleblock I want to have a lable that will read the sheet title information. I can add the label just fine and direct it to read the appropriate information. However, I need it to be placed on the sheet in a multi-line format.

    For example. If I have a sheet that will be titled - Floor Plan - New work or Floor Plan - Demolition. I need it to show up on the titleblock like this:
    Floor Plan
    New Work

    or

    Floor Plan
    Demolition
    Is there a way to make this happen? Wrap text field??

    Thanks for your help

    you can use additional two Shared Parameters (as instance) to accommodate that.

    Create a Shared Parameter "Drawing Type" as type of parameter set at Text, which will be your "Floor Plan, Sections or etc", then use it as label.
    Create a Shared Parameter "Drawing Status" as type of parameter also set as Text, which will be your"Demolish or etc", then use it as another label or combine it with the Drawing Type label, it is up to you.
    The "Sheet Name"parameter for label is already in the tiltleblock template, as you just need a label point to use this parameter. It is up to you to separate as individual label or combine them all into one Label. But if you choose to combine them in one label, you might want to select "Break" between each parameter in the label.

    Once you done the titleblock, load it into a project template or a project, then go to "Project Parameter" add those shared parameter from the shared parameter file to "Sheets" category and select type as "Instance".

    That should archive what you wanted for the titleblock.

    I just set the text box to be from Bottom and as the sheet name or view name gets larger it wraps automatically up. You can't control which word it wraps on but its always worked for me.

    The only problem with this is when you use this technique, it will also place that "carriage return" into the schedule as well. Scott's system actually sounds pretty good. Excellent tip again Scott!!
