Technical drawings - Is LAYOUT the best way?

I know we all want in-built functionality like this, but it was surprisingly easy to script a company specific solution for this based on this example… It’d be nice if it was a little smarter like solidworks note tool, but the script is perfectly functional and the boss was impressed with the initiative and result. Obviously the usertext must be present for it to work, so I developed a another script for adding usertext.
