In Staad Pro 23.00.02.361, the size of the local coordinate system arrow cannot be enlarged or reduced simultaneously with the model.

Reports: Add Block for Descriptive Title, as before Ver. 23.0

Versions previous to 23.0 allowed a descriptive title in the header block. Now the reader has no clue what the report is about, except maybe by the file name. See attached file which shows descriptive title, right up front where you expect it.
