Custom Title Block Text Issues

[Anonymous]

I was really glad to hear about the custom title block feature that Fusion released yesterday in the new update, but I ran into a couple of issues when trying to create one by modifying the existing ANSI title block.

When trying to center texts horizontally and aligning them to the left in their designated cells, I noticed that the snap points for the texts and attributes aren't consistent, making it difficult to align some of them correctly. For example, the "DRAWN" text that I changed to "DRAWN BY:" has snap points in the left center and left corner of the text which were useful and made it easy to align. However, other texts and attributes such as "SIZE," "CODE,"REV" and "DRAWN_DATE" have snap points in the bottom center, bottom right corner, top center, etc.

Also, when creating my own text, I only have one snap point in the top left to work with and I don't know what the icons on the left in the pictures below control because I can't get them to affect the text in any way.

Is there a better way to align text in Fusion and specifically in the drawing environment that I'm just not noticing? Thanks!

Hi Philip

currently, we don't expose the Alignment properties of Text or Attributes - they are defined when the Titleblock is created in AutoCAD.

However, there is nothing to stop you copying the Attribute or Text entity that has the specific Alignment properties you need, then renaming the Attribute tag to the required name...?

Thanks for the reply, Fenton. I tried copying and pasting using ctrl c+v at first without success but after you reminded me I realized the right way to do it is with the copy command in the modify panel so it works now. Thanks again!
