Hello!

I'm fairly new to the whole drafting module. I've been trying to create my own custom drafting template that includes our company title block and I was curious if there was an option to change how the date is displayed when using the Smart Text code for "Modify date of Project File" (@<P,FM>@) 

I believe the default is set to display m/d/yyyy h:mm:ss AM/PM (UTC: mod) 
(ex. 11/8/2019 11:29:40 AM (UTC: -6)

Is there a way to just have the date displayed without the time?

Also, is there a way to have text wrap around rather that it all being single-lined?

Thank you in advance!

Hi Veronica,

Currently, the date and time that your SmartText is referencing is a hard-coded TBC Project Setting based on date/time Windows system settings that can't be hidden, but I put in an enhancement request for you.

When you pick a CAD text object, you can use several grips to control it. 

Click-and-drag:

• the circle at the insertion point to move the text
• the triangle in the upper left to adjust the height
• the triangle in the lower right to change the rotation
• the triangle in the upper right to changes the aspect ratio (the text gets skinny or fat); if you hold the Control key down while you do this, you can narrow the invisible bounding box, causing the text to wrap.

This is also mentioned in the TBC help topic "Move and Modify CAD Objects Using Grips".
