Deletion of Title block drawing template from free version

I had previously used this function so I know it was there, but now, along with a number of other functions, it has a symbol saying only available if you subscibe. Whilst I recognise this is trying to 'muscle' subsciptions, this doesn't mean it changes my circumstances and will make me suddenly subscibe, it just causes me more work and gives me a general negative feeling towards Fusion 360.

Thanks for letting us know.

 

To make sure I understand you and can share your thoughts accurately with the development team involved, you are a hobbyist/enthusiast and enjoy making drawings using drawing templates. What is the typical end-use of these drawings?

Yes, that's correct. However, I have worked in engineering (automotive) for many years although I have not created models or drawings in CAD in my work, so I am learning with Fusion 360. 
I am currently exploring the world of watches, and am investigating the possibilities with a view to at some point, creating a business in this area. At the moment however, I am reverse engineering an existing watch, creating models and trying to create a suite of tech info (drawings) for that as a trial to see how difficult this is and also, using this info, to understand the processes needed for making the components by considering tolerances required, surface finishes etc for which, creating a drawing is essential. Sooooooo, I want to create a title block and populate it properly for each drawing and also save a copy as a pdf for easy reference - deleting these two functions just means extra work - I can still complete what I want to but it takes way longer. It's also seems an example of this 'modern affliction' where there seems a compulsion to make everything worse, meaner, less useful.. presumably for financial benefit but its a fundamental misunderstanding. 
I think what I am currently doing is very much within the 'hobbyist' zone and is in no way commercial. However, if my activities show there is a good potential, it is my intention that at some point (6 months... 1 year...) there will be a business and then I will be in need to get a license or two for a CAD system - Fusion 360 would be the obvious first stop. However, before that point, the more functions are withdrawn from the trial version, the more incentive I have to look for an alternative.
I hope that explains the comment adequately!
