this has been driving me crazy for quite a while, and I want to believe that there is some easy solution and I am just making a simple mistake.
We are using a few very simple custom drawing titles for all our drawings on the sheet.
I usually am able to drag the title anywhere on the sheet I want it to be. I active the drawing and click and hold down on the anchor point, a little submenue pop ups and voila (I attach an image).
Now, on some files, I have the issue that nothing happens when I click on the anchor point, and the drawing title staus in its position without being able to be moved.
Funny as is, if I copy clip this drawing into a new file, it works again.
Copying everything to a new file is not really an option, since I have way too many layouts defined already.
Any smart ideas? I even take the not so smart once.
Thanks
Bjorn

Have you tried doing a New and Reset?

Do you have the title saved as a favorite that you can reapply?

Only dupliate loaded is a custom door handle (which I seem to have some problems getting rid off, bbut that's a different topic).
As I am saying, the weird thing, same title works on some sheets, but not on others. If I copy clip to another sheet that has a working drawing title it works. If I simply create a new sheet and copy clip, it doesn't.

What is the name of the Title you are using? I don't see a Title that has the drawing number on the right.

Perhaps it has some legacy issues?
Do you want to post the title for people to look at?

[...]Export the favorite and then import it into the file you are working on.[..]

[...]Don't know the fix for it but a workaround is to select something else, like an element or something to get the pallet to appear for that object and then I go back and the pallet usually works.

It's a custom title that they are using[...]Do you want to post the title for people to look at?
