use the enhanced editor and squeeze the width, just like a piece of MTEXT. that is the beauty of the ML attribute.

Hello HB (Avishek)
did you get to see my screen cast? was it helpful
when you define a Multi-line attribute you give it a default width (where to wrap) typically the width of the area in the title blocks border. From there if Sheet title is longer than that the width can be adjusted like MTEXT editor as demonstrated in the screen cast.
Three lines as shown? we would be challenged for sure. you might want to consider addition custom fields to handle the third line as needed. Note with BATTMAN you can make attributes visible or invisible upon need

SSM is not able to recognize line breaks. As @Joe-Bouza showed, you can force a break at by the with of you attribute field, but that gives you limited control.
I am to an expert, but my opinion is that 2 or 3 line labels are best handled using 2 or 3 SSM fields. @Joe-Bouza alluded to this as well.
This is an AutoCAD issue. You might wan to check the AutoCAD Forums, but I have not been able to find anything useful on this topic. This would be a good topic for the AutoCAD Ideas Board … if one existed.
You could add this to the AUGI Wish List, or report it at the Autodesk Feedback page: https://www.autodesk.com/company/contact-us/product-feedbackautocad (This looks to be a black hole, but I am told it is for real.)
would be a good top

I concur.
the top line width governs the wrap

thanks Joe, very helpful. i have been adjusting the wrapping with the grips as you show but i am having trouble getting it into 3 lines, please see below. perhaps i have to use a custom field like you mentioned.
Hi Avishek
Looks good from here .

Abandon hope on that wish. Focus on the ML attribute is good for on 2 lines and a special field for any potential 3 liners.
Alternately: leave -2- out of the SSM name, enter the enhanced editor manually after the width adjustment, manually enter the CR and -2- for the third line?

Weird idea:
Fight this in the opposite direction. Replace the space between words with a non-breaking space to prevent the width limits of a multi-lined attribute from forcing a line shift and then only use a normal space when you want a line shift. A Shift+Ctrl+Space makes a non-breaking space but you can't enter it into the Sheet set manager directly. You can however copy it in from an Mtext and continue to copy and paste it in as needed once its in there.
FYI in SSM the non breaking space can be entered as "ctrl 0160"
not sure if I understand correctly:
lets say the ML attribute width is 20 character wide
and the DrawingTitleIsTwenty1 character long and you want DrawingTitle (12 CHARATERS) on the first line and ty1 on the third line. are you say add ctrl 0160 to bake the break?

is that what you meant?

First picture this, the title is written in the SSM with normal spaces between the words and the width of the multi-line attribute is small. Each word will be on its own line as the space character will be used as the location to put in an automatic line shift. Now edit the title in the SSM and replace the normal spaces with non-breaking spaces where you don't want those automatic line shifts to happen.
Sorry, too advanced for my mind to follow
