By sticking to TrueType fonts in titleblocks, I've had pretty good luck with the codes mentioned above. Still, depending on the font you're using, you may need to use the Character Map (found inside Windows) to find a character that mimics a comma. The number shown in the Character Map is the same number code you'll need to type into SSM. Hope that helps, Donnie Indydrafter, As you've found, the codes above don't work for ALL fonts out there.

I don't know if this is isolated to "our" setup, but I've been doing this for a while and in all my and my coworkers' cases, any character code with letters in it won't work from the SSM...nor will entering the numbers from above the letter keys.

The project nav. only shows drawing name and number. Kinda defeats the use of the project navigator to easily see the name of the plot drawing doesn’t it?

It will tkae commas. But even better, use it with mtext in the title and add the nobreaking spaces where the text you want to stay in the same line together and a normal space to go tothe next line.

I was told to use the Shift-Ctrl-Space together method but it only worked once. Don't ask me how but I never got it to do it again. You tip was perfect and has work each time I used it.
