Hi
This has troubled me for years, hopefully it is a quick fix.
Is there a way to change the standard orientation of the drawing view lables to Left?
Either in the standards or via iLogic?
NOTE: The option for orientation on my system is greyed out, I can only change the orientation after the view has been placed.
Thanks guys.

Hello,
Unfortunately formatting is not supported for view label in the standard settings, you can log a request for this enhancement to Idea Station. But as a workaround you can use VBA or ILogic rule to update view label alignment. Below is sample iLogic rule to change horizontal alignment of all view labels in the current drawing to the left:
Dim oDoc As DrawingDocument = ThisDoc.Document
Dim oSheet As Sheet = oDoc.ActiveSheet
Dim oView As DrawingView
For Each oView In oSheet.DrawingViews
If Not oView.Label.HorizontalJustification = HorizontalTextAlignmentEnum.kAlignTextLeft Then
oView.Label.HorizontalJustification = HorizontalTextAlignmentEnum.kAlignTextLeft
End If
Next
Thank you for your input

I realize this is an old thread but I just discovered it today after noticing the same issue with Inventor 2016. Am I the only one who thinks this makes 0 sense? Why in the world would you lock out the option to change the justification of view label text in the standard? And why hasn't this been changed/fixed in subsequent releases of the software?
You have to modify the text style that the default is using.
So open "styles editor" and find out what style it is using.
Then go to that text style and change what you need to.
On mine, I made a copy of the one it was using because other styles use that one as well.
If you do that, you have to go to "object defaults" and find "view / scale" label and change its text style to the one you want to use.
Hope this helps!
Now if I could just figure out what is driving the distance of the view label from the view so I could make it default closer...
Thanks.
I will test it in the real world, I am so entrenched in the iLogic code, so it will be a big change for me, but your solution works as well.
Quick feedback.
Champion mate, after updating my template, this has made life much easier.
Thanks.
