I sub-contract drafting for 30 year old companies that have their own drawing templates, logos, and disclaimers on them. I need to be able to change the drawing layout in order to match to their existing layouts. This is non-negotiable and stops me from using this program professionally.

I would be happy to either redraw it from scratch using your software or even just import a DXF/DWG and just put text boxes in wherever I need them.

Honestly this is the only thing stopping me changing from solidworks/fusion 360 to shapr. I know of many companies that would make the transition to this software as well if I recommended it but cannot due to this issue only.

It’s a cumbersome setup but you can choose not to include a title block. So you can insert your own premade PDF titleblock. PDF import is supported in drawing mode by using image button.

Yep that does sound cumbersome.
