Hi Toby,

Thanks for your post.  Currently, no: substituted text always resolves to a single line and there isn't a way to enforce wrapping on a substituted text field.

Sorry that I can't suggest a magic solution to this one.



Kind regards,

Hi Toby,

Actually, having thought about this a little longer there is a way to manually update substituted text.

Having inserted your title block and on seeing that a text field is too long:
1) Select the Unlock cursor
2) Doubleclick on the text field to perform inplace editing
3) Use Enter on your keyboard to insert one or more line breaks.
4) Return to the standard Selection cursor

On the upside this will give you what you want immediately.  On the downside, if you re-insert a Title Block it will return to a single line (because the new title block is derived from the original, unmodified Title Block template).

I hope this is helpful.

Kind regards,

Thanks Rob 

I ended up being a bit more creative and just used on of the other sub fields and broke the project name up over two fields so when i update a title block the layout holds
