I am a new user and I am setting up my first sheet formats and templates. I went through the tutorial on "Drawings" which included a part about sheet formatting but did not go into great detail.

My first questions are about the title block lines: The lines (and standard text) of the title block appear gray on my screen. When I sketch a new line in the title block, it appears black. I tried to change the colors of various things in the System Options but none of the things that I changed seem to make the title block change from gray to black. I would like the title block, company name, etc. to appear black when I apply this sheet format.

My second question is about adding text. I am the only user where I work and would like to add basic text to the sheet format like "title" and "Drawing No." etc. so that I can just highlight it and type, rather than adding notes for everything in the title block on new drawings.

Finally, for adding linked note data like dates, what is the basic process (e.g. adding the date to the sheet format)?

Thanks!
