Iproperties - description - .idw

Problem-

I'm trying to generate a title block that will include a symbol with default values that can be later edited.

It will basically be a table of values with automatic values put in place that you can edit.

However, when using the "text type>Prompted values", it obviously prompts me to fill in each value manually at the beginning of each project.

Yes, i tried to use custom iProperties as a solution. This way each text would default to a certain value on my custom list. The problem is,

I can't get the text to follow any of the rules ive set in place for regular text. Most importantly, justification.

I need the text to be centered and automatically moving words to the next line to fit a box.

The custom values read like this:

The quick brown fox

I need them to follow the justification rules and read like this:

  The 

 Quick

Brown

  Fox

HELP PLEASE.

Welcome to the forum.

Unless I am missing something, you should be able to in your drawing template change the text box to not only be smaller (which will force the text to be one word per line), but centered as well in the edit text dialog window.

Or if you like something that was said and it was helpful, Kudos are appreciated. Thanks!!!!

I've just found the solution to my problem.
There is a small toggle switch entitled "text box" to the right of all the justification symbols that I didn't know was switched off.
I switched it on and the text was able to use the lines as borders.
