Custom Title Block w/ Linked text for sheet name will not wrap?


Recommended Posts

I am creating a custom title block for my firm to include my logo and have all the bells & whistles that VW2012 has to offer like the sheet name on the title block to coincide with the sheet layer name. I made some serious progress in getting a Title Block to look like I want and would like all the features that VW2012 has to work.

So does this mean my sheet index and sheet layer will say "REFLECTED" instead of "REFLECTED CEILING PLAN" because it can't figure out how to wrap text and realize the text block perimeters?????

What is the best or most correct way to do this?

Is there some kind of work around?

Alas, I can't get word-wrap and fixed text widths to work with Linked Text Fields, and Sheet Layer Names are truncated to the 1st line of a multi-line Sheet Name or only one of several lines, but my Drawing List can list the full Sheet Name, whether multi-line or on 2 or more lines. Multi-line text created using the pasted return method happily appears with all text on one line in my List of Drawings Worksheet. Text entered on several lines appears correctly using the Concat function in the Sheet Name Database Header Column, i.e.:

=CONCAT(('TITLE BLOCK DATA'.'S_Sheet Title_SD#'), ' ', ('TITLE BLOCK DATA'.'S_Sheet Title 2'))

Design Series automatic drawing coordination of the Sheet Name and the Sheet Layer Name works well for me; and the Issue Manager works well to populate and edit most of the Title Block, although lacking ability to edit Issue data or deal with Revision data limits its appeal.
