Are there any alignment and spacing commands for text boxes in Revit?

I am trying to create a cover sheet for a project, and would like to have four separate text boxes that are aligned with each other with equal spacing. Are there any commands that I can use to do either of these?Note, this is specifically NOT a title block.

 

Things I've tried:

  • The align tool. It doesn't seem to work on anything text related.
  • aligning it using grips, which isn't helpful as the only move grip on the text box seems locked to the upper left corner, and doesn't seem to snap to anything else anyway.
  • While moving the text box this ghostly center line pops up that helps align it with itself, but this line never seems to appear for anything else, such as the center mark of an edge, object, or other text that I'd like to align with.

I'm using Revit 2019, and due to restrictions on my environment, installing anything else (including plug-ins, add-ons, or other versions of Revit) is completely impossible.

There are no native alignment tools that act on text other than the alignment feedback that is offered while you move text elements themselves.

 

There is a 3rd Party app called Align that you might want to look at.

When you drag text it should show a dashed alignment line to match the justification of the other text labels....as long as the justifications are all the same. Along with the top of the text as well.

 

Text grips cannot be controlled on an instance....you have to adjust accordingly if input is more than what it was before.

Why you can't use Labels and pull dimensions to and from Label origins?  Or, am I missing a larger picture here?
