Look in Drawing Properties/Detail Options.  Option "view_note" controls how the view name is displayed.  Value "std_din" omits the type of view.  Value "std_ansi" uses two spaces.  There are several other options, one of which may get you what you want.  This will only affect views created after the change.

Check the drawing detail options.  Search help:

Find view_note.

There may be other drawing detail options you must configure as well.

Make your settings in a detail file.  To test them you must read them into the drawing.  They are copied into the drawing.  They are not read each time the drawing is opened.

Once you have settings you like it's likely a good idea to update your drawing templates, and then make a map key to update your older drawings to suit if you need to have older drawings have their drawing detail settings updated.

See also your config.sup, it would be useful to populate this option:

drawing_setup_file

Chethan,

Does the information from Jim or Kevin answer your question? You may mark appropriate reply as correct answer.

This is yet another great example of PTC's lack of attention to programming.

I've been having to remove the extra spaces in Sections, Views and Scale labels ever since I came back to PTC.

SLOPPY SLOPPY SLOPPY !!!

My bigger peeve is UNC[space]-[space]2B in hole callpouts for which there is NO excuse!

The only recourse we have as users is to file a support case.

It will get the issue in front of the support technicians and if you press hard enough, including case escalations, you can find out if it is working to specifications and what those specifications are.  I don't know how this could be correct as implemented.

You have to be forceful with PTC tech support.  We pay for maintenance contracts to get answers.  If you are not satisfied with the answer, you can escalate the case until you see in black and white why the implemented solution is what it is.

If you do get satisfaction from PTC support, please follow up on the thread so we may all benefit from your efforts.

Thanks

I have in my dtl file text "view_note std_ansi" and on my drawing I have section name  "SECTION A-A"

PTC,

Could you please help us on how tp fix this issue???

Created the product idea, please cote for it..

Hi,

I am facing same issue. There is no solution as I checked on Forums.

so, I created two mapkeys which might help you too.

First is "SA" which will make section view note, Detail View Label , Section Arrow font size to 6, filled style and remove extra space wherever applicable.

and second is "SS" will remove space from ISO view Scale Note and keep font as it is. Try it out and let me know if it solves your problem.

I hope Smiley that you see here wont be there in notepad of config.pro file when you paste this code.

Just Paste this code in your config.pro file. If name conflicts with another mapkey, just change letters of mapkey in the code.

Thanks,
