I would love it if drawing labels could be auto positioned in relation to the parent viewport.
Users could pick a specific viewport corner (top left, bottom left, top right, bottom right) and define a label offset from it (ie x: 0mm, y: -15mm). It would also be very neat if this were integrated into the drawing label style definition, as different labels will require different offsets from the viewport crop. To supplement this it would be cool if a new 'enable crop to content' checkbox were added in the sheet creation dialog, so the label offset knows where to offset from.
At the moment each new viewport starts off uncropped, and the drawing label seems to appear where it likes. Each viewport then needs manual cropping and the drawing label repositioned to get a consistent look for every viewport. I reckon 1 minute work time could be saved per viewport. So for a project with 60 drawings, each with at least one viewport per sheet = 1 hour saved. Of course please let me know if this feature exists and I've missed it 🙂
Adding some sort of drawing label auto position would be a really nice micro time saver!
