Can't input dimensions inside "Edit Title Block" workspace

Is there a reason I can't input dimensions myself for the lines inside Edit Title Block workspace? Have you really forgot to input such a basic function? Do I really have to download AutoCAD to be able to create simple title block as a normal human being? Or am I stupid?

You seem to be frustrated by a big oversight in Fusion 360 drawing template creation. I have a solution for you and you do not have to download AutoCAD. Take a look at my blog article and included video, it is just what you need.

That's a really nice work-around, thank you!

But this is still a workaround for a very basic function that shoud just be there from the start. I hope community/product manager would notice this post and add this issue to their's to-do list

Hey @timon475 : I already did it with the free 30 days trial version but didn't worked as expected.

One of the main issues I found was the XREF's from AutoCAD are not compatible with Fusion 360. That being said, it's a totally waste of time try to create the title block in AutoCAD and then importing to Fusion 360.
