    @Jeremie_Ohana It's very likely the drawing notes were not "Moved to..." the title block prior to setting a up a template.  This can be easily corrected by doing that on a drawing now, then exporting and downloading a fresh new template (dwt), and then updating your existing templates with that new one.   Now notes will come across on sheet format changes as you expect.  

    We have a very good resource on template creation and updating processes here:

    Pay particular attention the section for "Move to...".  Let me know if you have any more questions.

    Thank you ! One more question : 
    When I replace a the old template with the new one, the new one only gets on top of the old, so i have two superposed templates. Is there a fix or should i just suppress the old one before i make a switch ?
