View Label Text Justification

[Totec_MW]

In most cases a single line of text is all that is needed for a view label, but sometimes I need two lines. Is there a way to change the justification of the text to middle or bottom center instead of left? I know it's simple enough to explode the label and position the text manually or use the normal AutoCAD text justification options, but I thought there might be a neater way to do it in AS instead.

Currently getting this...

But I would like to have this...

Thanks in advance for any advice.

not possible as I know

Okay, thank you anyway for the reply Sebastian.

Hi @Totec_MW ,

you ca use manual positioning of the text on 2., 3., .... line in Drawing style editor - easy with space bar. If it is a text with a fixed string length and a permanent position, then no problem -but unsuitable for variable text chain lengths.

I think this forum needs a Thumbs Down .... Really? you can't justify text... Do AutoCad Programmers still use Dos?

Not sure about the Dos, but there are plenty of don'ts

I wonder if this can be simulated in a script. Like you might be able to get the string length of the title, and the subtitle. Having that you can figure out how many spaces you need to "center thr text". I don't know enough about vb script to know if it's possible though.

The problem with a script: get the length of the whole string of the first line and then length of the second. Now add "spaces" in front to justify the it to the middle...but: the two lines have different text height, so I think it will not be possible. 

From my point of view, there should be normal text justify possibilities as in normal software exist

[Julio_Soto]

I definitely don't disagree with you that it should be a standard feature.

After a six year hiatus from Autocad (thank god) and doing all my stuff in Rhino I'm at a new job where they use auto cad.  

Was pretty much horrified to discover that centered text is still not an option without manually having to do a whole mess of steps.

Unreal.

Friggin dark ages.

No idea why text alignment is present in every other app in the universe but this.

Fusion has it, inventor has it, hell even tinkerCad and Free Cad have it but AC?  Oh hell no, cause that would make sense.
