Someone please help.

I'm in the process of making new title blocks for our drawings and SW is acting very strange. Here are the issues I'm having...

1. It is extremely difficult to position a note that I want to keep blank for user entry. The note does not actually snap to points so I cannot position them accurately.

2. When I do position the text and change the note attribute to center/center alignment the empty box shifts however once you enter text it jumps back to where it should be. What is up with this?

3. I cannot seem to resize an empty note box. I get the drag handles but cannot drag. What then is the purpose of the "fit text" option if you can't resize the box? Must you type text into the box which will set the size (or allow you to resize), then delete the text, then choose fit text?

4. When I use the "snap to center of rectangle" I get seemingly same problem as in #2.

5. Can't seem to determine a method for which annotation block, if overlapping will be selected on a mouse click. Seems like locking layers would be perfect here! If you're wondering how this is an issue, I have a 2-line annotation and the second line is very short. The main user-entered field overlaps with the 2nd line blank area. Granted this can be fixed when using the "define title block" feature in 09 but what a pain to create the block.

6. Why can't we use a type of table for a title block???? The ease of creating text in cells seems perfect for this application. Would be nice to not necessarily have defined columns and rows, however more like a MS Word table style where you can have various number of columns per row and rows per column etc. etc. using the merge and split commands. This really seems like a no-brainer issue.

Has anyone else experienced these issues? Has anyone found a workaround for creating nice looking drawings, formats and title blocks?

Thanks,
