Problems with Custom Drawing Titles

Anonymous

Hi all. Old user of ArchiCAD who recently came back to it after a few years away. Starting fresh using AC19.

I'm trying to set up custom drawing titles to match my established graphic conventions and having a little trouble. Here's what I want it to look like (this is just lines and text). The red lines are the grid cells from the master sheet.





And here's how it looks when I change the text to AutoText and save this as a new drawing title.




So, here are the problems I can't figure out.

1. Text seems to have jumped around and "compressed" in its position.
2. The graphic line seems to have moved downward.
3. I included a hotspot to help with positioning, but it has disappeared. (Can you use hotspots in drawing titles?)
4. The scale has weird spaces around the equal sign. (I've seen others complain of this, but haven't seen any solutions.)
5. Ideally, I'd be able to stretch the line, but I'm guessing that's GDL stuff that exceeds my abilities!

I'd appreciate if any of you have thoughts on how to better control a custom drawing title! Thank you!!

Sorry, the second version where everything moved around didn't post.
