    Default Sheet title on multiple lines

    Has anyone figured out if one can create multiple lines of text for "Sheet Titles" using the "Sheet Set Manager"? I guess the same would go for "View Titles". For example, "Foundation and Ground Floor Plan" would not fit in a titleblock without breaking it up in multiple lines. It will work for "View Titles", but it would be long.

    You can place the field inside mtext and set the width. If your using 2008 or 2009 you can use multi line attributes in your blocks.

    Default Re: Sheet title on multiple lines

    When I a new sheet in the SSM, I input the sheet title and number, it is all on one line. If I have a long view title, I do not understand how an attribute with multiple lines will help. How will the SSM break up the text string?

    In 2008 they added the ability for attributes to work more like mtext. When you edit your blocks, check the properites for the attribute. You'll see the option for multiline. Then just like mtext you can set the width and the text will automatically move to the next line when it gets to long.

    It did not work. The multiple line attribute was fine; however, when using SSM the attribute has to be "Sheet Set" aware. This requires the use of a "Field" pertaining to the sheet set. Maybe I am not realizing something with the multi-line attribute. When you check "Multiple Lines" when creating the attribute, it grays' out the "Insert Field" box.
