CatiaV5R29 - Drafting standards question

Hello everyone,

After lurking for several years, finding enough information to answer my questions in here, I have finally gotten to a couple of questions which don't seem to have an answer, so here is my first post! :)

I created an insert thread standard, as per standard NASM33537, and added the thread callout as the standard states. This thread callout happens to be a pretty long one and, in the document is divided into 3 lines for it not looking too long:

But when adding the thread callout in a drawing, I am getting the whole text in a single line:

Does anyone know if there is any way to force a line jump for the callout to look as in the standard? Maybe some xml tweak?

Also, in another topic, is there any way to modify view name and callout/leader text format from the standard one:

To a different one like, for example the one in the following picture (the middle line would be added manually after):

If not possible with Catia standards, would it be feasible to create a macro for this? I might take a deep look into that.

Thanks in advance to anyone replying!
