tion point of each line of text to be centered horizontally; second, you used the

You just finished using the Single Line Text tool in conjunction with the Standard
text style A-Title to label your floor plan. Before you could create the A-Title text style

Standard text styles, which require you to calculate the Height parameter manually,
work great if you only need to display your drawing at a single scale.
