NEED TO SHORTEN TITLE LINE ON SHEET

Lev97 — Fri, 28 Jan 2011 17:41:43 GMT

Hello

I'm working on my sheet drawing, but when I drag my floor plan onto

my sheet the Title of the drawing line is to long.

Is there a way to make it shorter?

Thanks.

Select the Viewport on the sheet, there should be a dot on the left end of the line, drag it where you want. If you just select the title, it will only allow you to move it.

Do you know how I would shorten the title line if the dots do not appear when I click on the view port? When I have adjusted in the past, the dots show up. But now for some reason, they do not. Have I done something or locked something that would cause this to change?

Hello,

The viewport and the title have different selections, when you select the title to move it alone, you can change its size.

Otherwise you will move the viewport and the title.

I had the same issue. The view was pinned. After unpinning it, I was able to select the view and change the view title line length.

@fabiosato ,

Can we somehow control the length of the title line? In the family it's only the reference line how can we control it's length when there isn't anything there. I don't mean manually I mean if I want to have all of them at an exact length for example to control them with a parameter.

Hello,

You can try to add the line in the symbol family,

I have never done it myself.

Don´t forget to hide the standard line.

also note that if your drafting view is locked with the pin, you will have to unpin the view before

the dot appears at the end of the title line.
